<OT>SVGALIB_HELPER fixup...

[Jerry McBride]

I've been trying to play around with the demos that are packaged in the 
svgalib sources, but up untill today, it's been problematic. The show stopper 
for me was, even though I'm able to modprobe svgalib_helper, the demos fail 
with "missing /dev/svga" devices, etc...

After much hair pulling, I remember something I read along time ago... 
"remember the sources"... A few moments into the svgalib archive I now have 
this script that creates the /dev/svga* devices.

Posted here, to save someone else from self induced bald spots... :')


rm -f /dev/svgalib_helper* 
rm -f /dev/svga 
rm -f /dev/svga?

mknod -m 666 /dev/svga   c 209 0
mknod -m 666 /dev/svga1 c 209 1
mknod -m 666 /dev/svga2 c 209 2
mknod -m 666 /dev/svga4 c 209 4


Have fun. Jerry
