A package for use with BL3 and kernel 2.4.31, because zgv only works with 
this kernel if it has libvga.so.1.4.3 (or later), not available 
precompiled for libc5.

You can upgrade BL3 or BL2 with SW81 glibc 2.2.5 and use the SW81 
libvga.so.1.4.3 and delilinux zgv.

For BL3 with kernel 2.2.26, use BL1 newzgv with SW4.0 svgalib.tgz.
For BL2 with kernel 2.2.16, use delinux zgv (if you can find it) with 
SW7.1 svgalib.tgz

I needed this package to make zgv work on one computer that will only boot 
with kernel 2.4.31, and also used it on laptops with BL3.  The kernel is 
also needed for the USB camera, whence come the images to be viewed with 
zgv.

You will also need /etc/libvga.config which I forgot to include but is 
available from any svgalib package.  I think there is a minimalist version 
in BL1, VGA only.  If zgv is not working, try uncommenting chipset VESA 
and if that does not work try chipset VGA. My matrox card requires VESA 
and won't work with VGA, another card won't work with VESA.
