You also don't have a video chip that supports svgalib.

I run zgv on debian. Which is on the same box as BL. And uses the
same chip, i810.

Where I have both of those libraries.

What chipset is specified in /etc/vga/libvga.config?

Possibly a later libvga works with your chip, and not the older one from Slackware 4.3.

David Moberg compiled a recent version in his 1-floppy-disk USB linux boot disk which Christof recently used. From my site or David's. With the 1.4.3 libvga compiled against uclibc.

It has been supported by X11 since 3.3.5.

And 3.3.6, which I use on debian, works very well.

[delete]

Am working on building 3.3.6 on my uclibc OS. Has an i810 server
with all the functionality _I_ need.

What progress?

Setting up the main source config file, host.def. Takes a lot of
reading for someone like me who doesn't know graphics or X very
well. I'm learning a lot.

Much more than if it all worked out of the box.

So far, I have compiled quite a few libc6 apps with it, and
all is fine. It already has most of what's on BL3.

I suspect those bugs involve multi-media apps that I'm not
interested in.

xfbdev that David compiled crashes if you switch terminals.
And some things just would not compile for him.
