What I did was: $ ls -l -rwxr-xr-x 1 tim users ... test ... $ ./test svgalib: can't open /dev/console $ su $ chown root.root test $ chmod u+s test $ exit $ ls -l -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root ... test ... $ ./test You must be the owner of the current console ... ... svgalib: cannot get I/O permissions. I then recompiled svgalib as with the ROOT_VC_SHORTCUT as the FAQ says. This made no difference (as detailed in my previous message). But I can still run ./test when logged in as root (though I'd rather not!) I don't think I'm running in a nosuid partition, It's just in a regular user area. Any pointers, ideas, and things to try, much appreiciated. Thanks. Tim.
