Hi, I was wondering if you can help.  When I try to run a program
using svgalib I get the error message:

svgalib: can't open /dev/console

I'm using Redhat Linux 6.0 with SVGAlib-1.3.1 (installed as root).  I've
done the chmod u+s thing, but my program still won't work.

The program will run if I'm logged in as root, but NOT if I've done the
chmod u+s

ie.

-rwxr-xr-x tim.users    will run from a root account but
-rwsr-xr-x tim.users    will NOT 

This confuses me and I'd like to be able to run my program as a non-root
user.

TIA

Tim.
