Package: libsvga1 Version: 1:1.4.3-29 Severity: important I installed in a different order, so perhaps this is taken care of. Apologies if so. I experienced problems using svga packages after moving to use of a frame buffer. Many were cleared up forcing frame buffer usage via the configuration file. My suggestion, if not already implimented, is that when libsvga1 is installed, a check should be made for the presence of a frame buffer device, and if present, the line for the frame buffer device / chip set in /etc/vga/libvga.config should be uncommented. This doesn't solve all svga/fbdev problems, but it made a couple of usefull utilities, zgv and bmv usable for me, and maybe it can save some other users grief, and allow them to get use out of svga tools.
