Hello,
I`ve just installed SVGALib 1.9.15 over my existing 1.4.3 version, as I really like
the idea of
having the /dev/svga device to allow normal users to run SVGA programs without
becoming root or
setting the program to SUID root. Everything seems ok, and I have recompiled all my
graphics
libs with no real problems. I have setup the /dev/svga and /dev/console devices to be
owned by a
group called "video". I have placed my normal user ID into this group, and this works
fine, except
that when I try and launch a program from X Windows I get the following error:
JDraw - Initialising Video. <<-- my own gfx lib debug
message
Not running in a graphics capable console, <<-- Seems like it can`t
create a new VC?
and unable to find one.
Using nvidia driver, 32768KB, Type: GeForce (NV11).
Not running in a graphics capable console,
and unable to find one.
svgalib 1.9.15
svgalib: Failed to initialize mouse. <<--- I know whats wrong with
this.
Not running in a graphics capable console,
and unable to find one.
Thanks,
James
