Oops! forgot to mention versions and that splash_helper and splash_util.static still have unalignment problems: splash_util.sta(5253): unaligned trap at 00000001200013e4: 00000001200edc61 2c 0 splash_helper(3280): unaligned trap at 0000000120000a64: 0000000120043529 2c 0 (they are not critical, but slows down execution) And versions tested are: * media-gfx/fbgrab Latest version installed: 1.0 * media-gfx/splashutils Latest version installed: 0.9.1
Uh...you still interested?
Reopen if so
