HI,
My problem is that I what to run some programs (i.e. vgatest) from a normal
user in a xterm.
the program have set SUID but if I try it as a normal user I get "unable to
allocate a new VC..." or similar (but if I am a real root it works!).

I have compiled svgalib-1.4.0.tar.gz on RedHat6.0.
I have try with ROOT_VC_SHORTCUT=y with and without comment (#) but the
problem is the same

any definitive solution?

thanks.
Marco.
