i don't like term emulators, i need raw keyb access to have shift+ctrl+end
and such things...

ehh

actually just tried to test your code, and get only sig11:

(...no errors reported by dfb...)

(!) --->  CAUGHT SIGNAL 11  <---
MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: preinit_libvo

couldn't gdb it, as it wants tty access...

Program received signal SIGTTOU, Stopped (tty output).

from remote sys in gdb it started, and then crashed the kernel to death
(segv in kernel), now reconstructing raid... (need to emergency sync & reset)

i'll move the g400 to another (less sensitive) system and play with it to
find the cause...

so i would consider this code 'very experimental' ...
