Description luthree 2005-05-19 14:32:00 UTC
When I activate a program in the command line the screen goes black for a second
then returns to the command line with some error messages.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start any svgalib program, like lincity, kiki, or xu4.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
I receive the aforementioned error messages.

svgalib: Failed to initialize mouse.
svgalib: Signal 11: Segmentation fault received.
Segmentation fault

Expected Results:  
I feel the software should have activated the program instead of crashing.
