Please test and give feedback through debian-boot and/or BTS.


Only thing I've noticed, colors are not quite right in the debian logo,

and the mouse pointer carries a square around itself. Small things, the
d-i looks working in a great way.

Thanks for the feedback. I know the issue, but there is no bug report about it.


Ok, i built my own installer and saw the same problems as above, i think it is
an endianess bug in gtkdfb, since the mouse background seems to be
redish/rosaish, which smells like a color problem. What is the color depth
used by the graphical interface. The logo is quite strange too, it seems as
two color planes are disjuncted and decaled by 10 or so pixels to the bottom
left, but maybe this is supposed to be a shadow or something, and instead of
being grayish comes out rosaish ? Also the top fonts seems quite uglily
anti-aliases, or not anti-aliased, the effect is not perfect.

Last week Villew Srjala <syrjala@sci.fi> at directfb-dev@directfb.org tried to solve a (it seems to me) similar issue on my matrox Mystique and IBM RS6000 PReP PPC. We didn't succeded but i think you may ask for specific help on the topic on directfb-dev@directfb.org, since this seems to be a DFB rather than GTK problem. I also saw some other threads at directfb-dev@directfb.org about correcting big endian issues on PPC archs: i think they will be included in DFB 0.9.25.
