Trying to run directfb on F17 I noticed 5 issues:
1) libdirectfb_vdpau.so: undefined symbol: XUnlockDisplay (Bug 852740:
fixed)
2) Unable to run DirectFB as a normal user (Bug 852745: open)
3) permissions on /dev/tty* and /dev/fb* not set by udev (probably should
be addressed

After manually setting tty0 and tty1 using the previous chmod command now when
I reboot I get a strange mix of tty settings.
Originally they would all have permissions like this:
crw--w. 1 root tty 4, 10 Aug 30 2012 /dev/tty10
But now they are a mix of settings:
# ls -l /de

If I run the command under root I see a more extensive output but having same
problems w/1024x768:

Tom,
Ok, I tried testing with the following settings:
$ ls -l /dev/tty{,0,1} /dev/fb{,0}
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 3 Aug 21 21:52 /dev/fb -> fb0
crw-rw-rw-. 1 root video 29, 0 Aug 21 21:52 /dev/fb0
crw-rw-rw-. 1 root tty5, 0 Aug 21 21:52 /dev/tty
crw--w. 1 root t
Gerry,
You could also use DirectFB's X11 system module, so that you can run
DirectFB-based applications in a usual X11 window. You can tell
DirectFB so by using the DFBARGS environment variable:
$ export DFBARGS="system=x11,mode=1280x800"
(probably also w/ disable-module=gl)
$./

Upstream is wrong, btw.
The dlopen problem is caused by the fact that they don't pass the

Hi Gerry,
Try contacting the main dev. mailing-list of DirectFB. I'm sure you'll get
an answer there.
Btw, DirectFB-1.5.3 is rather old, DirectFB-1.6.1 is rather the latest
stable release.
