Ok, here's the problem. I have built an application using SVGAlib. If I fork from my application in order to execute a shell command, I get returned immediately to my app and only when I exit my app do I see the output from the shell command. Worse yet, if my shell command is a request to open a file in emacs, my machine locks up. If I try the same thing from a little test program without SVGAlib loaded, it works fine. Why won't it work with SVGAlib loaded? By the way, just before I fork I return to text mode and normal keyboard mode, like this: keyboard_close(); vga_setmode(TEXT); When I am returned to the parent and wait for the child to finish, I restore the SVGAlib environment, like this: vga_setmode(G640x480x256); gl_setcontextvga(G640x480x256); keyboard_init(); Anybody know how to fix this?
