I have had no success whatsoever getting DirectFB to run under F17 as a regular
user on my HP laptop.
# yum list DirectFB
Installed Packages
directfb.x86_64 1.5.3-7.fc17
@updates
I have discussed the problems on the DirectFB mailing list and they direct me
back to the distro.
When trying to run any DirectFB command as a regular user I get permission
errors like this:
$ dfbinfo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| DirectFB 1.5.3 |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(c) 2001-2010 The world wide DirectFB Open Source Community
(c) 2000-2004 Convergence (integrated media) GmbH
----------------------------------------------------------------
(*) DirectFB/Core: Single Application Core. (2012-05-19 15:35)
(*) Direct/Memcpy: Using Generic 64bit memcpy()
(!) DirectFB/core/vt: Error opening `/dev/tty1'!
--> Permission denied
(!) DirectFB/Core: Could not initialize 'system_core' core!
--> A general initialization error occured
(#) DirectFBError [DirectFBCreate() failed]: A general initialization error
occured
Even when I go and change the permissions on /dev/ttyX and /dev/fb/0 and then
put those into udev rules then I still get
an error about MEDIUMRAW mode.
I am able to run some DirectFB commands as root but that is no good for
creating app for general user.
Can anyone, developer, packager, shed some light on why DirectFB will not run
on F17 as a regular user?
Thank you.
