[Solved] Qingy stopped working after latest kernel upgrade (2.6.25)

Hi,
after upgrading to 2.6.25, I only get a black screen after booting.
Even my keyboard stops working at this point and I can't even type Ctrl+Alt+Fx to switch to an virtual console with agetty. If I don't boot with a framebuffer I get the fallback login from qingy which works without problems. When I boot with agetty at vc/1 I can use the framebuffer without problems (tested with fbxine and a movie)

Well, qingy works here as it used to, and I'm on .25 since it hit testing. Some more info: I don't load any extra framebuffer modules, and this is my /etc/directfbrc

system=fbdev
mode=1024x768
depth=8

To pinpoint the problem, you can maybe try some other directfb apps to see if it's a problem with directfb, or qingy itself.

Thanks for your help, but creating the /etc/directfbrc didn't help.
And testing it with other directfb apps is easier said than done. I tried "mplayer -vo directfb foo", but it doesn't work and I couldn't find another directfb app which compiles (even directfb-examples), also a lot of PKGBUILDs in the AUR for directfb apps are broken.

After the latest kernel upgrade to 2.6.26, qingy is working without problems now, though i had to delete the /etc/directfbrc because the colors and resolution were wrong at first.

P.S.: "mplayer -vo directfb" still doesn't work
