What I did was:
$ ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 tim users ... test
...
$ ./test
svgalib: can't open /dev/console
$ su
$ chown root.root test
$ chmod u+s test
$ exit
$ ls -l
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root ... test
...
$ ./test
You must be the owner of the current console ...
...
svgalib: cannot get I/O permissions.
I then recompiled svgalib as with the ROOT_VC_SHORTCUT as the FAQ says.
This made no difference (as detailed in my previous message).
But I can still run ./test when logged in as root (though I'd rather not!)
I don't think I'm running in a nosuid partition, It's just in a regular
user area.
Any pointers, ideas, and things to try, much appreiciated. Thanks.
Tim.
