linux - SVGA & 1.99p
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
howdy folks,
well, i've recently tried a few things that have made me even more
happy about executor.
the SVGA ELF version i tried works with the new SVGA lib. i'm running
1.2.11, ELF, ELF compiled SVGA libs (1.2.7), with an STB Powergraph 64
card (S3 based, Trio64 chipset).
none of the a.out programs i have work with the new lib. however, and
this seems a bit odd, ld (or is it ldd?), is able to deal with the two
versions. i have the old libvga.so.1 in /usr/local/lib and i put the
new stuff in /usr/lib. this seems to work ok.
the major problem i have now is that the console is unusable after
using executor-svga. the screen is completely messed up and the only
way i can get it back is by rebooting, not my favorite thing to do
frequently. i'm also running SVGATextMode to get a better display on
the console so perhaps this is a problem...
in other news, 1.99p seems great. it remembers what windows were open
after i launch an app and remembers things i add to the hot band as
well. these are both great improvements. i'm not sure if this is
just me, but it also seems to run a bit faster now.
anyway, this is just great for me. i'm looking forward to pounding
out my second publication using Word under executor, hopefully in the
next month!
hope things are going ok for you folks at ardi,
