I held my breath and tried to run executor-svga and ... it ran! I have a Mach32 with 1Mb of DRAM, and a 486DX2-66 with 20Mb RAM. The only problem that I had was when I tried to switch back to X while leaving executor running. The X display was filled with garbage and I had to reboot the machine to regain control. Also, I have to run executor-svga (and any SVGAlib programs) as root. If I don't, then I get the message SVGAlib: cannot get IO permissions. I have no idea why this happens, any suggestions?
