1. I did get GGI to compile, but at the time I did not have the DX headers installed, so I had to disable several portions of GGI.  Do a search on the www for "dxlibs.zip" and "directx-devel.tar.gz" and you may get lucky... I can send them if they are not still out there, I lost the page where I got them.  That being said, t still has not given me any video yet, seems I don't know the correct options to give it to create output window(s)...

2. Enabling Xv (still not working on my system, don't have Xv support on my video card) is pretty simple.
In configure, the detection seems to be backwards, I sent a patch for it, look through the archives of -dev-eng if this doesn't make sense.
Line 2168 of configue needs to read:
  cc_check -lXv $_inc_x11 $_ld_x11 && _xv=yes

3. Yes, output will not show up, and this is normal for a Wind*ws app.  To fix, just remove the -mwindows from the SDL_LIB line in config.mak as well as mingw.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.  I am by no means in the class as the authors, but I may be able to give ideas or things that work for me.
