[Splashy-users] DirectFB Issue not fixed!

[Valentin v. Seggern]

Hi there,

as far as I see the DirectFB Issue
(http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/splashy-devel/2006-April/000243.html)
is still not fixed.

I use debian etch with the prepacked deb archives from
http://splashy.alioth.debian.org/debian. I get the same error:

root at thinkpad:~# splashy test
root at thinkpad:~# FATAL: splashy_video.c <706>:
        (#) DirectFBError [DirectFBCreate (&video->dfb)]: General
        I/O error!

I have:
libdirectfb-0.9-22: 0.9.22-10+b1 (-24 not installed)
splashy:  0.1.8-2svn200607220522

root at thinkpad:~# cat /proc/fb
0 VESA VGA

root at thinkpad:~# uname -a
Linux thinkpad 2.6.17.7 #1 PREEMPT Thu Jul 27 21:14:47 CEST 2006
i686 GNU/Linux

my grub line looks like this:
title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.17.7
root            (hd0,1)
kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.17.7 root=/dev/hda5 ro vga=791
initrd          /initrd.img-2.6.17.7
savedefault
boot

Can you please enlighten me?

Thanks, 
Valentin
