  It compiles and runs but it does not display video to the local
 gentoo linux system. The author claims it works on SUSE.

  Also, have you tried upgrade nvwa, i see from the website that .6 is out.

 Well, I do not think this is the problem. If somebody knowns
 what they are doing with C++, then it is a good tool,
 but I'm an old C/assembler hack

  I don't really know how to help you, but i don't mind trying. ;)

 I can email the sourcecode to you, compile it and see what you think. You
 can check the sourcecode and make suggestions, as the original
 author may not be a real whiz either, or something is missing
 from the sources, and it is only intended to run on Fedora or
 Suse. I just don't know. If you or anyone will consider helping
 me a little bit, send me some private email at:

I am quite good at C++ and may be willing to help. If you tar up the source, 
how big is the tarball? Please don't send it right away. I am sitting here in 
Africa and am connected via a percussion group. You don't want those guys die 
of exhaustion. ;-)

It works by coincidence only. He's got some invalid memory allocation
or deallocation code.
