I`m currently developing some cool games for SVGALib only (as it`s the
only way you can easily get depth/mode switchable, Fullscreen, direct
access on linux (which i like, unlike X11 and DGA where you can`t even
change display depth!). However sometimes when switching modes my
keyboard and mouse seem to lockup and accept no input (even if using no
vga input routines), to get my system back i have to telnet to my
machine and kill the running process, and all is then ok. Seems to
happen to me on any video mode, about 1 in 20 times i run something. Am
i not initialising something properly or what?

I`m running Linux 2.4.4, SVGALib 1.4.3, and my graphics hardware is a
Voodoo 3 2000 PCI. 

Thanks for the help, 
James
