I was going to look at this in more detail tomorrow. I can't imagine
what would cause bad permission errors, especially at the directfb
level. Nothing the patch does should alter that behaviour.

I've always wondered why that functionality is requested, when one can
just hit Escape to get all the messages they may or may not want. Still,
having a little single-line text area like this is useful. It makes our
boot up process very nice with the occasional message.
