So, i built a new miniiso [1] which includes Ville's updated patch,

This image boots and then freezes (while initializing dfb?) with a
completely grey screen and a mouse cursor.
I can move the mouse cursor one or two pixels, but after that it is
really, completely and utterly dead (power button the only option to
reset).
Another debian user i contacted for testing reported, more or less, the
same crash, which sadly i cannot reproduce nor fix because on my laptop
Ville's patch works perfectly.
Let's not do this and let's also start implementing the previous patch so
it makes Etch. We're really running out of time to experiment!
After discussing with fjp it was decided to go with the original patch i
wrote (the one attached to BR #400579, currently applied upstream):
Guillem, could you please proceed with upload ?
I really hope we'll be able to fix the bug in Ville's patch soon, as
it's much more complete than mine: we may be even able to integrate
ville's patch in a future DirectFB upload.
Currently, infact, we're facing a bug [1] which Denis Oliver Knopp said
should be fixable with a minor patch to DirectFB; patching DFB should be
easier than adding, at this point of the release process, a new library
(libgcc1) to the installer.
In the case DOK provides the patch in time we may need to request you,
Guillem, a further upload for DirectFB, provided that's still possible.
cheers
