problems on libggi

1. just took a fresh cvs-devel and compiled the libs and failed while testin
demo w/o params.

weigon@weigon:/linux2/home/weigon/degas/lib/libggi/demos > demo
svgalib: Cannot get I/O permissions.
weigon:/linux2/home/weigon/degas/lib/libggi/demos # demo
Trying mode -1x-1#-1x-1 D-1x-1 F 1 [GT_AUTO]
Suggested mode 1024x768#1024x768 D1x1 F 1 [GT_32BIT]
Invalid graphics mode in environment variable.
svgalib: Signal 8: Floating point exception received.
Floating point exception

using param worked fine:

weigon:/linux2/home/weigon/degas/lib/libggi/demos # demo 640x400#8
Trying mode 640x400#8x-1 D-1x-1 F 1 [GT_AUTO]
Suggested mode 360x480#360x480 D1x1 F 1 [GT_8BIT]
white=1
black=0

2. after this tests my mousepointer has gone. i had to restart gpm .( 

3. libggi doesn't compile with fbdev-target enabled:

setsplitline is in libGGImisc, no ?
