While i could imagine that it's not too difficult to get it running at 320x200x256 (or 640x400x16 -- but who's really going to deal with that bit-plane crap anymore?), i don't trust the model for any of the more advanced cards. Seeing how much time it costs for the XFree86 folks to keep up with the pace new boards are being marketed each day, how is libsvga supposed to do this? In addition, more and more people are running X11 anyway, so why force them to switch back to another screen? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
