I'm at about the same place...

Haha... actually, after chmod'ing 777 (yeah, yeah... I know) the
entire directory and subdirectories, I can do a make vga EXCEPT for
the accel .o ;)
I know this isn't the real way to do it, but I know that the code
itself appears to be mostly right anyways... :)

My problem is, I've *never* used ggi before now, I don't know what the
"usual" stuff is. To tell the truth, I wasn't all that interested in
it until I ran into the Berlin stuff. Is there any possibility of
commiting a working ggi setup with everything fixed to the Berlin CVS
server? I get the feeling I just don't know what to look for... but
then, maybe your suggestions below will be the final piece of the
puzzle.

If I can get all of this working, do you mind if I submit the working
ggi tree to the Berlin CVS? Also, out of curiosity, this *is*
supposed to be the ggi-devel tree, not the -stable one, right? I
don't remember noticing kgicon in the stable tree. :)
If I am to submit it (assuming I can get it working), do I need
something other than anonymous access to commit?
