Ok untarred svgalib 1.9.24 in /src/so it compiled to pick upth makefile....No

built linrad, loaded svgalib_helper, module in third party section of the kernel,.

lsmod shows its there

[root@xxxxx linrad-01.35]# ./mousetest

[root@xxxxx linrad-01.35]# ./linrad
svgalib: Cannot open /dev/svga

[root@xxxxx linrad-01.35]# lsmod | grep svgalib
svgalib_helper         11716  0
[root@xxxxx linrad-01.35]# urpmi -a libsvga

libsvgalib1:/usr/lib/libvgagl.so.1.9.21

So where is linrad looking for its libs, I'd  a thought /usr/lib was a normal place ????, arh but 
it's SuSe time ,why the extra layer of directory !!!!!!

If mknod is run manually linrad starts to run, and it need to be run manually each time the machine
is booted as uDev is used with Mandriva 2006, and svgalib_helper needs to be put in modprobe.conf.


There proof that the svga tarball is a real pain in the butt
