I am trying to get freebsd and ggi to work. I have downloaded the latest releases. I tried the cvs but couldn't get configure properly built and working.
Everything compiled find, with the exception that ggi's configure script complained (but not fatally) that it couldn't find gii, even though I installed gii right before hand. After compiling, and told it to use the kgl display target, and ran a program under the programs subdir. The program would change display modes, the screen would turn green and freeze the entire machine. I have since loaded 'vesa.ko' kernel module, and it identified my card, but still caused the same problem. I am running freebsd-4.5, on a duron800,radeon 32mb ddr card, and a via kt-133 chipset. I do not know exactly where it is freezing, as I do not know how to test for that. I do not have X installed let alone running. I imagine it is potentially possible that gii might not be found, but that shouldn't cause a freeze. An additional request: Does anyone know anything at all about 'kgl'? I believe it may stand for kernel graphics library, but I can't find ANY thing about it, only things that use it, and very few of those. Any help would be appreciated, Jeffrey Drake.
