Re: [Lemonlauncher-general] Question about SDL backed on /dev/fb

Robin,

I've tried both a gentoo box and one with crux using the vesa
framebuffer driver and I can't seem to repeat this bug.  On
both systems mame launches just fine, and when exited lemon
launcher gets control again.

Which framebuffer driver are you using?

Regards,
Josh
