This was my experience with libvgl last year. I haven't run any apps recently, but it works really easily... Just have to do stuff like install a SIGSEGV handler to restore video mode, or blidly type the vidcontrol command... Also look at svgalib... It worked great, and gives you a linear frame buffer.... -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."Received on Wed Feb 09 2005 - 20:50:21 UTC
