Hi Etch's graphical installer is going to reach its first RC very soon, and right now it performs quite well on i386 and AMD64 (on PPC there are still som issues to fix). A bunch of GTKDFB bugs [1] still awaits to be fixed, but luckily only one ( #359243 [2] ) affects the g-i. This bug causes corruption/fading of text in GtkTreeView : even if this is not a crasher, we cannot ship a Debian installer where rows disappear when user goes up and down the menu. It was recently stated that the corrupted widget does not paint outside of the proper paint loop, so Mike Emmel thinks a background rectangle is not being cleared before repainting, as under directfb we reuse the system buffer which contains the current drawing. If someone could help with this, this would be *very* apreciated: ATM this is the only bug (keeping my fingers crossed :) that prevents us from shipping the g-i as the default Debian installer.
thanks in advance Attilio [1] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?query=component%3Adirectfb+product%3Agtk%2B+ [2] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359243 _______________________________________________ directfb-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-dev
