I think it is not b'cos ur card is not configured. To wirte a graphics program using SVGA library u need following files: vga.h,vgagl.h under /usr/include libvga.a,libvgagl.a under /usr/lib later 2 files are library files in which all functions defined in *.h files are written.try this. #include <vga.h> main() { vga_init(); vga_setmode(4);/* for 640x480 16 colors mode*/ vga_drawline(100,100,10,20); vga_getch(); } exit editor. type : gcc <filename>.c /usr/lib/libvga.a then run ./a.out LYCOShop is now open.
