Re: Failed to open visual ??

Thank you MArcus,

I had an old libggi in /lib/ggi and /usr/local/lib which I removed.
However the new develop ggi-devel-980903.tar.gz snap libggi does not
make and install. It seems to be broken. I had to move the libggi.so by hand
and (dont know why?) libggi.conf needed to be put into / before it would work
??  why not /etc/ggi ?

Now I switched the FRAMEBUFFER to /dev/fb1 and
fbset -i says its KGI now
note that I cannot alter the display mode with fbset as I get an ioctl
error.
I can now see most of the demos in the VGA mode
Checkmode says I have all 640x400 bitplane modes but thats it.
The te_demo could not set the mode
the texttest could not set the mode

Phew..I am getting there... perhaps someone could fix the libggi compile
scripts?

Cheers
JAson
