Ok, here's the problem. I have built an application using SVGAlib.
If I fork from my application in order to execute a shell command,
I get returned immediately to my app and only when I exit my app
do I see the output from the shell command. Worse yet, if my
shell command is a request to open a file in emacs, my machine locks
up. If I try the same thing from a little test program without
SVGAlib loaded, it works fine. Why won't it work with SVGAlib
loaded?
By the way, just before I fork I return to text mode and
normal keyboard mode, like this:
keyboard_close();
vga_setmode(TEXT);
When I am returned to the parent and wait for the child to finish,
I restore the SVGAlib environment, like this:
vga_setmode(G640x480x256);
gl_setcontextvga(G640x480x256);
keyboard_init();
Anybody know how to fix this?
Bob
