F17: DirectFB

[Gerry Reno]

Tom,
    Ok, I tried testing with the following settings:

    $ ls -l /dev/tty{,0,1} /dev/fb{,0}
    lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root      3 Aug 21 21:52 /dev/fb -> fb0
    crw-rw-rw-. 1 root video 29, 0 Aug 21 21:52 /dev/fb0
    crw-rw-rw-. 1 root tty    5, 0 Aug 21 21:52 /dev/tty
    crw--w----. 1 root tty    4, 0 Aug 21 21:52 /dev/tty0
    crw--w----. 1 root tty    4, 1 Aug 21 21:52 /dev/tty1

    $ groups
    greno tty wheel dialout video vboxusers

    $ grep greno /etc/group
    tty:x:5:greno
    wheel:x:10:greno
    video:x:39:greno
    dialout:x:18:greno
    greno:x:1000:
    vboxusers:x:988:greno

    $ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules
    KERNEL=="fb[0-9]*",                     GROUP="video", MODE="0666"
    KERNEL=="tty[0-9]*",                    GROUP="tty", MODE="0666"
    KERNEL=="mice",                         MODE="0666"


The result is this:

    $ dfbinfo

    I set the perms in the udev rules to 0666 but the tty does not setup that way for some reason.
