Bug#505270: Update

I changed splashy_video.c to enable directFB debug and info messages to
console.

I see an error when init_font tries video.dfb->CreateFont

The first attempt at this always fails. It's the second attempt which
seems interesting.

the message from directFB is
(!) Direct/Interface Could not open interface directory
/usr/lib/directfb-1.0-0/interfaces/IDirectFBFont
--> No such file or directory



when I use kernel parameter break=premount to get an initramfs shell, I
see that such a directory does exist.

Point 1: On the laptop I am using, this is 100% reproducible

Point 2: As soon as I introduce the /etc/directfbrc file with the
contents as described above, the second call to CreateFont succeeds.
The message is loaded default implementation of IDirectFBFont

regards
Tim
