I guess your hardware is a bit different from mine (IIUC your

and i cannot reproduce the crash, but what if you boot textual, add
disable-module=ps2mouse
to /etc/directfbrc and then switch graphical ? does the freeze still
happen ? what's now the dfbinfo output ? do both touchpad and usb mice
still work ?
I booted with BOOT_DEBUG=3 instead and edited /etc/directfb from the debug
shell before continuing the boot. Remember that option as it is a lot
easier to manipulate the system that way than booting the newt frontend
first.
I didn't even know that option exists, that will be for sure useful for
future debugging

In the case this should work, we could simply disable ps2mouse on x86
(as we did for keyboard module) so that both keyboard and mice/touchpad
are always handled by linux_input.
Yes, this does indeed work. I agree that it seems safe to disable
the ps2mouse module by default for x86, so I'll commit that in rootskel.
Cloning this bug to directfb as I guess the breakage in ps2mouse should be
fixed.
Thanks Attilio.
I'm really happy this was fixed quickly: when toight i saw the br about
the crash i got a bit scared :)
I also suspect the crash you were experiencing with my libdirectfb-udeb
patched with Ville's version 2 implementation of touchpad handler was
due to this bug: i'll rebuild miniiso with latest rootskel.
