Kat'arxhn sorry gia to e-mail :(  To knews pou xrhsimopoiw exei thn tash na
bazei synexeia ayto gia "From" kai egw to dior9wnw me to xeri. Merikes fores
to 3exnaw, idiws otan en9ousiazomai 'h biazomai na grapsw kati!

Kata deyteron 9a para9esw olo to ponemeno istoriko. Sorry pou einai sta
agglika, alla to metaferw edw aytoysio opws to eixa steilei sth lista
svgalib, opou ekei den bre9hke enas xrhstianos na lysei to problhma moy -
mexri pou ekana unsubscribe...

To keimeno exei ws e3hs:

 * I have SuSE 5.3 distribution with libc installed and kernel 2.0.35, I don't 
know if this is important... 

* I downloaded the latest 1.4.1 version of svgalib. 

* Before installing anything I deleted the old libraries from my system, just 
to be sure... 

* Now some info about my Makefile.cfg - maybe I do something wrong :-( 

directories: I don't change anything... 

TARGET_FORMAT = elf 
# USEGLIBC = yes 
ROOT_VC_SHORTCUT = y 
#BACKGROUND = y 
#ONE_MAP = y 
#INSTALLSTATICLIB = installstaticlib 
INSTALLSHAREDLIB = installsharedlib 
INSTALLAOUTLIB = installaoutcompat 
KEEPSHAREDLIBS = keep 
INSTALLUTILS = installutils 
INSTALLMAN = installman 
MANFORMAT = compressed 

Then, I comment out ALL drivers, except 
INCLUDE_VESA_DRIVER = y 

I comment out ALL autodetect, except 
INCLUDE_VESA_DRIVER_TEST = y 

- If I leave OAK driver uncommented, then the svga lib autodetects MAtrox 
Mystique as OAK - which is of course wrong ! 

I comment out ALL dac support. 
I comment out ALL dac support autodetect. 

SVGALIB_CONFIG_FILE = $(datadir)/libvga.config 
# DYNAMIC=y 
#USE_CLOCKS = y 
ALLOW_MOUSE_OVERRIDE = y 

Compiler section: I don't do any changes. 

* When I first tried to compile, I saw some warnings with "io.h" (and some 
other files too). When I created some symlinks form 
/usr/linux/include/asm-i386 the compilation worked o.k. 

* I do "make clean" & "make install" 

* I do some changes in /etc/vga/libvga.config: 

chipset VGA 
#chipset VESA 

The demo programs (al least some of them) work fine. 

* I change it to: 
# chipset VGA 
chipset VESA 

* Now I have the following symptoms: 
When I try to run a program (which run O.K. with VGA) I hear some strange 
noises from the monitor and either I loose the console (I have to [ALT]+[F2])
or I see a blank  screen (must hard reset - [CTRL]+[ALT]+[DEL] doesn't work
:-( 

* The lrmi program vbetest makes a list of video modes and after selecting a 
number I have the same symptoms. Same with mode3. 

* I have already updated the BIOS to the latest version from the site of 
Matrox. 


Ayta!
