Thank you both for the quick reply. I will send the output tomorrow at the earliest. I will probably do the svgalib thing.
I guess I got mixed up with the k and the v. I use email in windows, and just using bsd to test ggi, for something I want to do. Linux didn't work very well, so bsd it is :-) Regards, Jeffrey Drake On 31 Mar 2002 at 8:49, Christoph Egger wrote: On Sat, 30 Mar 2002, Jeffrey Drake wrote: > I am trying to get freebsd and ggi to work.

AFAIK, kgi on FreeBSD can't work, because the port of KGI to FreeBSD in a work in progress. Nicholas: What's the status of the port of KGI to FreeBSD? > I do not have X installed let alone running.
