Hi,

we need a simple graphical library for Linux. So I found svgalib. We use a 
grafic chip from Cirrus (6235, S VGA compatible, 512kB) and need a resolution 
of 640x280x256. Unfortunately the svgalib doesn`t support this chip. But I`ve 
read, that it is compatible with the Cirrus GD5420, and I forced the cirrus 
driver in svgalib to use it.

With vgatest (witch uses only functions of the svgalib), it work fine. But if 
I use the vgagl functions (such as gl_printf), I get an error every time 
vgagl writes to the physical screen (even with gl_copyscreen from a virtual 
context). 
svgalib: Segmentation fault received

It occurs only, if I use a svga mode. In vga mod, such as 320x200x256, there 
is no problem. So I suppose, there might be a problem, if the vga memory 
above 64k is written by vgagl.

The Kernel Version: 2.3.3.

Can anybody help me? Or does anybody know a better GUI (but it have to be 
simple, we do not need any windowing...)


Many thanks for every answer!
