Hi all, just a quick rundown of what's up with the Debian graphical installer. The Beta 3 release of the installer is finally about to be released and for the first time it officially includes the graphical version which is based on directfb-0.9.24 and gtk+-directfb 2.0.9.
As you can read in [1] svn is already open again for commits and we're working on switching to the much newer libs (already included in the debian archives), namely directfb-0.9.25 and gtk+-directfb 2.8.18. Running some tests with the new libs we've noticed some regressions: - there are some problems with the directfb backend (see [2] and the bugreport [3]) - default fontsize is much bigger than it was with the old libs (using the same config files) - touchpad did not behave too well, but after all these updates we'll have to check if anything has changed on this regard Besides this, we'd like to have a console available inside the installer: Denis, is there any chance you can help us to include dfbterm inside the installer? regards, Davide [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2006/08/msg00310.html [2] http://people.debian.org/~fjp/d-i/g-i_2.8.18_display-weirdness.png [3] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346810
