    Hi,

    I am trying to make something useful with libvgl, but I noticed a few
    problems:

    - I cannot use the SW_VGA_xxx-modes. That means:
    /usr/share/examples/libvgl/demo.c does not work, either.
    - My system hangs after using any VESA mode prefixed with CG (e.a. 256
    palette entries, I think), calling VGLEnd() and switching back to X
    (Alt+F9). This happens on stable and current. I can only use
    Ctrl+Alt+Del to shut down my PC. The VESA-modes work well, besides
    freezing the X-server. I can display graphics and everything (colors
    and shapes) looks correct.

    (vidcontrol works fine, also for VGA_xx-modes)

    My kernel configuration (essential part) is:
    device vga0 at isa? port ?
    options VESA
    pseudo-device splash
    device sc0 at isa? flags 0x100
    device vt0 at isa?
    options XSERVER
    options PCVT_FREEBSD=480
    options SC_PIXEL_MODE
    options SC_HISTORY_SIZE=512

    The X-Server is XFree86-4.3.0 with "nvidia" driver.

    Can someone tell me how to use the SW_VGA13, SW_VGA_MODEX and e.g.
    SW_VESA_CG800x600 mode? I cannot find anything useful on the web.

    Thanks,
    Martin
