svgalib won't work
Hi, I am having some problems trying to run the demo programs from
the svgalib1-dev package. After the compile I try to run the 'fun'
program, here is the error I get:
> abapc# ls -al fun
> -rwsr-xr-x 1 jsg HT 13177 Oct 10 15:06 fun
> abapc $ ./fun
> svgalib: Cannot open /dev/console.
Hmm, why doesn't this work? /dev/console looks OK:
> abapc $ ls -al /dev/console
> lrwxrwxrwx 1 jsg HT 9 Jan 24 1997 /dev/console ->
/dev/tty0
> abapc $ ls -al /dev/tty0
> crw-rw---- 1 root root 4, 0 Oct 10 11:12 /dev/tty0
Maybe it's not working because I do not have root permissions?
So I log in as root and try again:
> abapc $ su root
> Password: xxxxxxx
> abapc# ./fun
> svgalib: Cannot get I/O permissions.
What's this? I give up, better ask on the debian-user mailing list...
One more look at the svgalib libraries:

Can anyone help me with this please?
