[Splashy-users] Strange behavior of splashy

[Luigi]

Hello Marcus,

There is a thread about this very issue on splashy-devel.

We are investigating why Splashy seems to be holding two tty's open (tty2 is
one of them).

I cannot tell you for sure what the problem might be. It seems that we
didn't properly synchronized the sources from Splashy 0.2.x to 0.3.x tree in
the repository. We had a snippet of code in splashy_main.c that switched to
a tty that's not used by the system (like tty8 or something).

Bare with us as we are working on fixing this issue as I write this...
