hello,

I just met a problem, I have know idea why it is happenning, maybe  
someone knows about it.

I configure links to make it work with graphics, with svgalib so I  
started with :
./configure --enable-graphics --without-x --without-direct-fl
the result was :
---------------------------------------------------------
Configuration results:

GPM support:            NO
SSL support:            NO
Supported compression:  ZLIB
Javascript enabled:     NO
Graphics enabled:       YES
Graphics drivers:       SVGALIB
Image formats:          GIF PNG XBM JPEG
---------------------------------------------------------

so I continued with :
make
without problem, and I finally used this :
./links -g -mode 800x600x16M

The result is like I had unplugged my screen from my computer (no  
signal). When I come back to the x server console (ctrl+alt+F7), in my  
terminal I can read :
[svgalib: allocated virtual console #8]
Have I forgot to add an option ?

The only way to stop it is to close my terminal. After that, if I go  
back to the previous console (ctrl+alt+F8), the first time I'm  
immediately redirected to the x server console, the next time the  
change works and I can read the name of my graphic card and the  
version of svgalib.

If someone know why this happen ... (or need precision)

Thank you for your attention.
