I've been trying to play around with the demos that are packaged in the svgalib sources, but up untill today, it's been problematic. The show stopper for me was, even though I'm able to modprobe svgalib_helper, the demos fail with "missing /dev/svga" devices, etc...
After much hair pulling, I remember something I read along time ago... "remember the sources"... A few moments into the svgalib archive I now have this script that creates the /dev/svga* devices. Posted here, to save someone else from self induced bald spots... :') rm -f /dev/svgalib_helper* rm -f /dev/svga rm -f /dev/svga? mknod -m 666 /dev/svga c 209 0 mknod -m 666 /dev/svga1 c 209 1 mknod -m 666 /dev/svga2 c 209 2 mknod -m 666 /dev/svga4 c 209 4 Have fun.
