It seems that directfb backend of gtk+ is broken in recent version. I hit 2 bugs (segfaults), first is fixed, but second is not. And according to bugzilla, directfb backend has no maintainer :(

There was a bug in BIOS of my laptop that annoyed me for long time: In two words, after resume from hibernate (suspend to disk) fan sticks to the one state. I.e. it's always working (annoying but not dangerous), or it's always stopped (dangerous, can cause overheat) - it's state is not depend on CPU temperature. Here's some links about it: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10223 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/114312 Zhang Rui (thanks to him!) pointed right direction: he provided customized DSDT table with extra debug output in _TMP method. I've tried it, and it showed that one of two thermal sensors shows wrong info after resume. So I wrote new _TMP method that uses only one thermal sensor. There was one more issue in BIOS - /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/{info,state} shows hardcoded values, and doesn't perform real query to the smart battery. I've googled a little bit and found this: http://hughsient.livejournal.com/588...
