A problem with svgalib:
When I use zgv under lynx to view an image (at Craigslist you need to type
in a 5 letter verification word to post) it does something odd to the
video such that my cursor goes from white to black, many of the lynx
colors also change so I have black on blue and other unreadable
combinations. I also get black on black in Pine when trying to view the
URL they send for confirmation in my email (but I can save the email,
convert to html, and view it all with lynx, then type in the URL).
The cursor change persists when I exit lynx. Reset does not help.
Where the blinking cursor (underline) should be I see a letter with less
intensity of white.
This has not happened when viewing other images, but I would like to
understand the problem before reporting it to Craigslist. They must be
using some odd image format.
The computer I noticed the problem on is the eMachine which won't display
svgalib or Xvesa properly if I boot via loadlin with config.sys. I will
test it on another computer once I replace that modem.
What might I try to fix the problem other than a reboot?
