Hi...

I've been playing a bit with the Graph and SVGAlib libraries. I found that, when calling the new modes, my comuter hangs completely with a black screen. Not even Ctl-Alt-Del gets it out.

I'm using kernel 2.4.19, and Xfree 4.2.1. The graphics card is a SiS300, updated with the last Drivers I found on the 'net.

I've tried the 'detection protocol' as described in the Graph docs, to detect valid modes, and I've tried to single step my program to check that the mode selected was signalled as valid.

Some of the old combinations, such as VGA/VGAHi work fine, but I was really hoping for the newer hi-res modes.

Any suggestions on how to go on testing? Preferably avoiding the red panic button on the machine?
