I've put the one without the VGA modes on my website at http://www.lost.org.uk/svgalib/ as a patch against 1.4.2. I've only tested it with Linux 2.4.0-test6 and the Matrox framebuffer device. I've had a look at 1.9.5 and I think I'll try and get the other version working with that one. -- Christopher John Purnell | A friend in need's a friend in deed http://www.lost.org.uk/ | A friend with weed is better --------------------------| A friend with breasts and all the rest What gods do you pray to? | A friend who's dressed in leather
