Hi !

*grin*.

You have installed LibGGI ? Then first try the demos.
The svgalib_wrapper will enable you to run some SVGAlib applications as well
(though don't bet on most of them, as the VESAfb driver can't change modes).

No. This would require quite some changes to the kernel textmode rendering
system. You can open /dev/fb and pipe a picture there, but it will get
destroyed as characters are written.

You are still running the standard X server - right ? If you are using an
fbcon driver (including VESAfb), chances are, that normal X servers will
break, because they assume that the card is in a text mode at startup and
will try to return it to a textmode. If it wasn't, they usually mess up.
You have to use either the framebuffer based XF86 server (XF86_fb IIRC) or
use XGGI. XGGI should be available from Marcus site, which is linked
somewhere on our main pages.
