Jonathan, Tom,

  Thank you so much for your suggestions. I tried to look for the
svgalib-* package that you mentioned below but failed to find it anywhere.
I am using RH 7.0. The search with 'ls *vga*' in the RedHat directory on
both installation disk did not return anything.

  But I also tried out Tom's suggestion and now I have OpenInventor
running on my linux box. It feels great. Thanks

  Anyway, if it is not too much trouble, can you also point me to where I
can get the svgalib-* package? - just in case some program decide to 
complain when I try to compile later. For now, the sample program compile
and run without fatal complain.

  Now if only I can get my opengl driver work under GeForce2GTS chipset
and performer running without segmentation fault, I am a very happy
man..... ;)


  Thank you again and have a great day.

Simon
