Re: Trying to build Xvesa KDrive (with scalable font support.)

Hi David,

I got the Xvesa server working by specifying the
correct font path inside the host.def.  The device is
now able to initialize the VESA VGA screen, and
display text and graphics properly.  Thanks for this
help!

The Xvesa server I built with the 4.5.0 sources seems
to have one bug:  when I switch from X to the console
using CTRL-ALT-F1, it hangs when I try to switch back
to X using ALT-F5 (5 is the GUI session). 

The screen displays the background window panes of the
wxWidgets-based application, but it does not re-draw
graphic images or text.  After it hangs, the video is
locked up and the keyboad dies a few keystrokes later.

I'm currently Googling for a solution, and trying some
things.  For example, I just tried a completely stock
host.def with no changes other than my fixed font path
- but it still hung when I tried to come back from
console mode.

Any suggestions for making the Xvesa program survive
going to console mode and back?

thanks !
