no other reason... I had the impression, as I have some strange behaviour as
reported in my email to the other list...

Sometimes I would pull the carpet for slow apps :)...

what  was reporting in the email to the prev list is that directfb apps are
blocking (apparently after the patch for "~150 shifted pixels ". Here is the
end of the strace. Fd 9 is apparently /dev/fb0


fstat64(8, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0660, st_rdev=makedev(29, 0), ...}) = 0
ioctl(8, FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP, 0xbed0e4c0) = 0
ioctl(9, VIDIOC_G_COMP or VT_ACTIVATE, 0x8) = 0
ioctl(9, VIDIOC_S_COMP or VT_WAITACTIVE
