Program that run from init don't have a controlling tty, which svgalib needs. Therefore, you must set a controlling tty before calling vga_init(). This can be done by: i=open("/dev/tty1", O_RDWR); ioctl(i, TIOCSCTTY, 1); If you are trying to run a program that you did not write, and you don't want to compile a special version of it, simply write a program that sets a tty and the execs the program you want. -- Matan Ziv-Av. matan@svgalib.org ------------------------------------------------------------------ Unsubscribe: To: listbot@svgalib.org Body: unsubscribe linux-svgalib
