It works for root and for non-root with liberal /dev/ws* permissions.
I've yet to try TGA2, I'll try it probably tonight.

It used to work from an older pkgsrc (a couple of months) but now I don't
get the panel (the process is running) and I'm having problems with
galeon as well (doesn't start) *and* GTK subwindows are still behaving
stupidly (like the packet dump window in ethereal, the scroll bar doesn't
grok the size of the window or it thinks that the window is ten times bigger
than it actually is). Aaargh. Compiling all of this finished last night at
around 01.30 and afterwards the alpha was quite close in finding out just
exactly how many G's it can pull when hitting the tarmac after a 20 meter drop.

Anyway, I promise to try the TGA2 tonight :)
