[Splashy-devel] Bug#454917: Bug#454917: splashy: Still not fixed

[Luis Mondesi]

The problem with this is that this is not a bug in Splashy but a bug
in libdirectfb. We have already reported and submit a patch that fixes
this.

Directfb 0.9.25 contains this patch (on Debian Sid) but version 1.01-5
does not. I already filed a bug against libdirectfb 1.0.1-5 to apply
this patch.

If you want to apply this by yourself, you can follow this instructions:
http://splashy.alioth.debian.org/wiki/faq#when_running_from_initramfs_splashy_takes_100_of_the_cpu_and_boot_process_stops_using_init_only._not_upstart

We will try to get the libdirectfb package maintainer aware of this
issue. The problem was that we were going through some heavy holiday
season, so, no time for OSS development ;-)
