I hacked in support for the green saver, which I suspect is the same way the stars saver got in there. Wouldn't it be more convenient to support the lkm's? I was also wondering why pcvt restricted its [VGA] font support to 8, 10, 14 and 16 scanline fonts. I'm getting used to 40-lines, but (in a previous life) I used to run an 11 scanline font for 36 lines (I won't mention that it supported 94 columns ;-)
