Hi, I have been trying to compile gnuplot to work without X. I have managed to get is working but, only if I log on as root. Apparently in the "./term/linux.trm" file there is a piece of code that disables linux vga (?svga) mode if 'uid' does not indicate root. When I commented this out it compiled but wouldn't run. It gives some I/O error when trying to initialise my video card. I noticed the same thing when I ran SVGATextMode, it only allowed me to run it as root. Please could some-one tell me how to disable this feature? Thanks Jon.
