Re: [linrad] SVGALIB 1.9.18 Compiled but does not start

[Christoph Petermann <cpe@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Uups,

how could I forget that ... SVGALIB 1.9.18 running now !!!!
- finds my RAGE ATI card, but offers NO setting. VESA does not work at all. 
But the system does not crash anymore.

This is still SuSE 8.2. I will install SuSE 9.1 next week. Until then I will 
stop my activities here.
