Fixed bug 3751 - DirectFB linux_input disabled by default Clayton Craft linux_input module is disabled by default, despite the comments in source code that it is otherwise: src/video/directfb/SDL_DirectFB_video.c: devdata->use_linux_input = readBoolEnv(DFBENV_USE_LINUX_INPUT, 0); /* default: on */ src/video/directfb/SDL_DirectFB_video.h: #define DFBENV_USE_LINUX_INPUT "SDL_DIRECTFB_LINUX_INPUT" /* Default: on */ When using the directfb driver, the linux_input module is suppressed unless the SDL app is started with "SDL_DIRECTFB_LINUX_INPUT=1" set in the environment. I recall seeing at one point that the directfb folks recommended using linux_input over the other input drivers, but I am having trouble locating this recommendation. In any case, I believe that this should really be defaulted to 'on' since it's vastly superior to the other dfb input drivers!
