I compiled and installed the kdrive xserver "Xfbdev". I have the problem, that it switches to a black screen, if I type in something one the keyboard or make a mouse move. The "Xvesa" does the same. Is there somebody who has the same problem or any solution? Thanks.
After switching to another console and back a few times I can stop the Xfbdev by apressing alt+backspace. Now I can start it with "xinit -- /pathtoXfbdev/Xfbdev
-mouse /dev/mouse,5 [furhter options]". The first time I compiled it with an ebuild-script from Gentoo-Linux. The second version I compiled directly from the sources, that version works with xinit. But there comes another problem. I can run Xfbdev with fluxbox (window manager) but when I switch to a text-console (strg+alt+F1) and back the screen will not be repainted and it seems that the windowmanager is crashed. Any idea?
I just want to point out that if your framebuffer has problems, Xfbdev will also have problems. I'm using Xfbdev just fine -- built right out of the XFree 4.2 codebase, with a touchscreen driver of my own design hacked in.
