If you can answer even one of these questions you will be one of my
new best friends.
I have recompiled the svga code and made the demo programes.
I can only get the following demoprograms working.
bankspeed
scrolltest
testgl
vgatest
vgatweak
Now if I can get those to work why can't I get seejpeg or zgv to
display any pics at all?
Why is it that no matter what setings I put for the HorizSync or
VertRefresh fields I get a "Monitor setting from environment denied"?
Why even though I have mouse set to none I get:
svgalib: Failed to initialize mouse.
I have manualy reset the SVGALIB_CONFIG_FILE to make sure it is being
read but still get no results.
I even tried brute forceing the timeings useing the util gtfcalc
in this script.
export X=29
until [[ $X > 75 ]] ; do
./gtfcalc 320 200 $X Hz 2>> /vgalib
export X=$((++X))
echo trying $X Hz
seejpeg -s 1 /name/of/some/jpg
done
Still no results. It seems odd to me that in the settings for the
timeings you get your choice of say 800 x 600 and Hz but you dont get
to choose the color depth. Is it just me or is this strange?
I have determand with vgatest that the best modes i am capable of are
640x480x16 or 360x480x256. Although according to my bios's self test
I sould beable to get 800x600x16. How can vgatest find a valid
setting but trying to get one that works outside of the test
invironment is a no go.

GUI's are for slackers. Get ibpconf.sh 6.1 on freshmeat.net
It's a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word.
