Fixed two typos in the name.

-----------------------
The above package for any kernel and glibc 2.2.5 is set for use without a module and device that allow non-suid non-root use for improved security.

The author helped me compile the module for kernel 2.4.31
http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/2.4.31/svgalib_helper.o

I put it in ./video directory.

Also mknod svga c 209 0


See zgv SECURITY or www.svgalib.org for a discussion of why this module and device are good.

You can insmod in rc if you plan to use zgv or links2 or svp a lot.

It works on two video cards .

There are increasingly many modules that won't compile for 2.2 kernel.
The Jaton modem one, for instance. (Not sure it was worth it due to the frequent retrains and no info on how to connect at a slower speed).
