Package: netsurf-linuxfb Version: 2.1-1 Severity: important When I ran "netsurf google.com" as root on vt2, the screen went completely black. I managed to (blindly) switch to vt3, log in as root, and run "halt" to reboot my system. I didn't think to try "killall netsurf" until it was too late.
I am running an Eee PC 701. It's graphics card reports itself as Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 04) I am using uvesafb, v86d and 910resolution to run at the native, non-VESA resoltion of 800x480. Perhaps linuxfb doesn't understand this. I *can* successfully run gtk-directfb applications on this system. This includes netsurf itself -- I rolled a private package of (IIRC) netsurf 2.0 to use gtk-directfb instead of gtk-x11, and it worked fine. Oh, and fbi and fbgrab (other directfb apps) also work fine. Xorg was not running at any time during the above events. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages netsurf-linuxfb depends on: ii libc6 2.9-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcurl3 7.19.5-1 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libfreetype6 2.3.9-4.1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libhubbub0 0.0.1-1 HTML5 Parser ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libnsbmp0 0.0.1-1 NetSurf BMP decoder ii libnsgif0 0.0.1-1 NetSurf GIF decoder ii libparserutils0 0.0.1-1 A utility library for parser build ii libpng12-0 1.2.38-1 PNG library - runtime ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8k-3 SSL shared libraries ii libxml2 2.7.3.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii netsurf-framebuffer-co 2.1-1 Common resources for all NetSurf f ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages netsurf-linuxfb recommends: ii mime-support 3.46-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap netsurf-linuxfb suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
