Thanks, I will do!

Actually I do not like framebuffer - it's noticeably slower than pure text
output.

And as far as 80x24 is concerned - simply change the font to something
smaller, and you'll get 80x50 - which is good enough for *ME*. No need for
framebuffer just for this. And 132xXX is just too damn small for my eyes on
a 17".

But does this mean that I have to use Framebuffer when I want to use Aurora? 
I don't think I'd actually like this (since it's too slow...)

Hmm, are there any advantages in using framebuffer?
