Hi.  I have compiled and installed SVGAlib, but for some reason it    
causes my input devices to lock up; no matter what program I run, if  
it tries to use svgalib, it locks the keyboard.  in "demos/" I ran    
"fun" and "vgatest" and "lineart", all of them resulted in svgalib    
locking up my keyboard.  Oddly, they still continue to run.  I logged 
in remotely and killed the process, and was still unable to reclaim   
control.  I killed the bash process, and the console returned to a    
login prompt, and still I was unable to reclaim control.  I ultimately
have to reboot my computer.                                           
                                                                      
Any help would be appreciated.  I am running kernel 2.5.24 under      
slackware 8.1.
