Thanks very much for your help. It solved the problem, but I have another one. I now get the problem (3) as listed in the FAQ. I've followed the instructions (I think) but I still get the error message: $ ls -l -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root ... test $ ./test You must be the owner of the current console to use svgalib. ... svgalib: Cannot get I/O permissions $ Here's what I've done to try and fix the problem: o login as root o edit Makefile.cgf to include: USE_GLIBC = yes ROOT_VC_SHORTCUT = y o $ make clean o $ make install I do get a small error at the end of making: make: ldconfig: Command not found make: *** [installsharedlib] Error 127 When trying to run my test program I got: ./test: error in loading shared libraries: libvgagl.so.1 so by doing (in /lib as root): $ ln -s libvgagl.so.1.3.1 libvgagl.so.1 $ ln -s libvga.so.1.3.1 libvga.so.1 I am able to run my test program. But I can still only run it as root! When I run it as a normal user I just get that first error message again. :-( TIA Tim.
