Known working platforms (OS, hw-arch, targets):

- NetBSD 1.6.x, -current / i386 / X-target, tile
- Solaris 8 / sparc32 / X
- SuSE Linux 8.2 / i386 / X, aalib
Known issues:
- When running XGGI under SuSE Linux 8.2 / i386 (X-target), you need to switch to console and back to refresh/update the screen. It's very likely a bug in libggi's X-target. Update: This is a bug in libggi's X-target. Workaround: Use GGI_DISPLAY="X:-nodga:-novidmode"
- After pressing the X-target hotkey (CTRL+ALT+M) to grab the mouse pointer, it is impossible to move the mouse down until you move it up before. Moving the mouse left/right works as it should. This issue has been reproduced under NetBSD and Debian Linux so far (2003-09-16).
