You should only need root up to here, if you have sufficient perms on /dev/fb,
but it doesn't hurt either.

KeyBoarD.

1. Compile in the MAgic-SysRq key (in the kernel), and read the docs about 
it in  /usr/src/linux/Documentation. Really read it or print it. When you 
need it, the system will be locked up, so reading it up on demand won't 
work ;-).

2. If you encounter a problem with LibGGI, first try turning on debugging.
Set the environment variable GGI_DEBUG=255, then run the demo.
For example: bash$ GGI_DEBUG=255 ./demo

3. If that doesn't help, try strace. bash$ strace ./demo

Send me the logs, if you can't figure out the problem yourself.

CU, Andy
