[Pkg-directfb-devel] Bug#493288: libdirectfb-1.0-0: directfb doesn't work when used by splashy from initramfs

[John Hughes]

Package: libdirectfb-1.0-0
Version: 1.0.1-9
Severity: important
Tags: patch


splashy is now launched from the initramfs, i.e. before init. 

Because init does horrible things when moving into multiuser mode 
directfb loses it's connection to the keyboard.

This breaks splashy.

I attach a patch for directfb that is needed to fix bug 462626 (closed 
by error) and probably bug 492643.
