David Mosberger-Tang contributed patches to make svgalib run on Linux/Alpha. It is known to run with #9 GXE. No reports of other hardware working or not exist yet. This is REAL ALPHA software. I don't know any installation details. In theory you just recompile it out of the box (When you are using Linux/Alpha you are a hacker and should be able to create a shared lib w/o problems). I don't know any details, in case of problems please contact David. From what I saw you might have to use static libs. That's no real problem, a simple make in src or gl will create a static lib. You will have tweak the Makefiles in demos/utils minimally such that the static libs are found by ld. Also you will have to install the libs/tools by hand (if you install the static libs in a well know location, you'll probably not need to change makefiles to compile apps. Michael.
