Hey, when running any directfb app, i get blank screen with total loss of control. I have to restart machine to regain control.

Some ss: Screenshot 2024-04-18 221651-direct-fb Screenshot 2024-04-18 221537-drectfb

Since it needs admin priv, i run with sudo and blank screen appears immd

There was no problem with the installation as far as i could tell, i followed this - https://github.com/directfb2/DirectFB2/blob/master/INSTALL with meson setup -Dmulti=true -Dmulti-kernel=true build/

Running on VM with linux mint with base Ubuntu 22.04 jammy - linux kernel 5.15.0-101-generic

You can first try the default build of DirectFB2 (single application core):

meson setup build/
meson install -C build/

Then switch to a virtual console to run apps (in order to avoid graphics access conflicts with the desktop environment).
