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?
