sesamstr, a 4kb intro for linux you can reach us at: Jorik Blaas (avoozl) Tijs van Bakel (smoke) if it doesn't work right away then please have a look at the code first; most of it was written at the party place -- when we were really tired. yes we used libggi for debugging. note that you have to be root in order to run this demo. it's not only svgalib but also the ugly palette switching by directly accessing the ports. feel free to change this to libggi or X11, but make sure it fits in 4096 bytes signed, smoke
