Are you running it as root ? *duck* :) If yes, the ML will consider it
as system mail and not post it to the list..

Cool! I was wondering how that one was going; nice to know you have it
working, even if it's not complete yet .. Email me a login/crypted password
pair privately and I'll open your devel cvs access ...

Basically.. Be sure to read Andrew's and Jon's emails on the list as they
explain many traps to be avoided.. (agreed with someone who said that
on the list today, one should really collect these mails and make a
small doc - Hartmut? ;)

Yes, andreas worked on a suid-kgi bridge before kgicon came into light. I
believe you need to modify the driver fairly to get it to run, but it's known
to
work with the vga driver, iirc..
