Package: dvifb
Version: 1:01.03-11
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When using dvifb on my G3, it will render upper part of the first page
of the dvi file correctly (by upper part I mean the portion that fits
on the screen). Then it will not respond properly to any keys pressed on
the keyboard (i.e. "q" or "??" won't work), only Control-C will work for
quitting dvifb (it would be very bad if that wouldn't work either).
Mouse operation does not work correctly either. (When I press the left
button, nothing happens most of the time, but sometimes, things scroll
to the left. Pressing the right button and moving the mouse allows me to
scroll upwards until all of the page is gone.)

The GPM mouse event repeat type is set to "msc", i.e. MouseSystems
protocol as the dvifb documentation suggests.

If you need further information, I am happy to assist in any way I can.

Kind regards,

Manuel
