I tried the demos from DFBTutorial, and I didn't have this problem. Apart from colors, it works great, and is really fast :-) I'll read your driver code to learn more about dfb. By the way, DirectFB doesn't see my mouse (logitech usb)... Is there a way to configure it ? I tried links' fb driver, and I had a working (huge) mouse cursor. With gpm running, DirectFB seems to have a problem with both mouse and keyboard. It draws the screen once, then hangs. I can kill it, though. Last question : is there a way to switch vt when in a DirectFB application ? Alt-Fn does nothing. I suppose the application grabs the keyboard, but perhaps it's possible to let some keypressed events pass through ?
