When zgv works under it, maybe then I'll consider it mature enough. In the meantime however, either zgv needs to be ported to libggi or fb directly, or the existing libggi applications need some SERIOUS maturity. I don't consider GGI to be ready for those not coding it just yet. Pretending it is will only hurt the project in the long run. It's just not ready to replace svgalib yet---no applications. -- Joseph Carter <knghtbrd@debian.org> Debian GNU/Linux developer GnuPG: 2048g/3F9C2A43 - 20F6 2261 F185 7A3E 79FC 44F9 8FF7 D7A3 DCF9 DAB3 PGP 2.6: 2048R/50BDA0ED - E8 D6 84 81 E3 A8 BB 77 8E E2 29 96 C9 44 5F BE -------------------------------------------------------------------------- <wc> red dye causes cancer, haven't you heard?
