Mr. Seeger,

I downloaded that snapshot and tried to get it running on my SuSE 6.3
Intel box, running a 2.2.13 kernel.

I followed the insructions given in the top-level README.install.
I did a symbolic link from kgi-0.9/kgi/Linux/linux to the kernel
sources in /usr/src/linux.
Then I did a 'make' in kgi-0.9, which configured the package and
also set up a configuration file '.config' in the kernel source
base directory.
Unfortunately, unlike you mention in that README, CONFIG_VT is not
disabled and nothing like CONFIG_KGI gets inserted into the .config.
After the doing a 'make' in   kgi-0.9/kgi/Linux, the kernel is 
built, but comes up with error messages during the build.


What am I doing wrong here?? Can you please give some pitfall/trouble-
shoot instructions!!

Also could you add a general README to explain what exactly kgi is doing
and what is not providing!! 
Can I use the libggi with the fbdev display target through it?

Would be of big help for non-graphics cracks to pick up on your work!!
