The problem seems to be in a recent change of the directfb lib witch introduces a new CreateInputEventBuffer method wich now stands up for the old CreateEventBuffer method. Now, CreateEventBuffer() no longer attaches input devices and doesn't take input capabilities. It just creates an empty event buffer.

It just creates an empty event buffer. only libsdl-1.2.5/work/SDL-1.2.5/src/video/directfb/SDL_DirectFB_video.c seems to be incrimined. I dont't know how to make a patch for an ebuild, so if you can show me...
if it is just a patch on the source file, please run diff -urN oldname.c newname.c > patchfile and then attach here
well?
closing, for no feedback
i can't compile libsdl 1.2.5 with directFB 0.9.16
remerge directfb then try libsdl again
it works .. thats why i uncommented the configure stuff that disables directfb based on use-var
removed libsdl dependency listing in DirectFB's latest ~arch'd ebuild
