I Had no problem with this +p or +P waits for a mouse click on the just 
before rendered image before switching back to console (in X with a 
selfcompiled binary).

I only get a text based display in console mode, but ont trying 3.1g in
console mode I get what I'd expect when I turn display on.  With 3.5 
I don't even get permission complaints which I'd expect. 

Using official binary.

SVGALib here, no X for me, and it's not working as expected. I'll look
in the source tomorrow, I have a slight suspicion.

SVGALib applications no longer requires root privileges IIRC so that
probably explains. But I still get no pause after the render.

But this is RH 6.2 and I get the complaints if I have the wrong 
permissions with 3.1g.  Or is it compiled into the POV binary?
