- We're still working on it. There appear to be two problems which
- might be relevant:
-
- 1) vga_safetyfork(), an svgalib routine, causes the forked child to
- lose I/O permissions for the video card. That causes our
- Mach64 version to hang, and may do it on most other boards
- (all but the Mach32?)
-
- 2) Apparently svgalib 1.27 is incompatible with libc 5.2.8, and perhaps
- other libc versions as well.
-
- We'll figure out a workaround for (1). The svgalib maintainers will
- have to work on (2).
-
- Has anyone else out there with a Mach32 tried E/L/S? It works fine on
- my Mach32.
