Weren't they supposed to release the specifications as soon as the
new version of X was available or something? I'm not sure why, but that's
what I read somewhere. Why haven't they done something with the svgalib
or -- hehe -- SVGATextMode yet? I'm dead set on having my console
displayed at 1024x768 unstretched rather than 320x200 or 160x100 stretched
to 1024x768 as I find the display is only capable of that resolution
regardless of what it is trying to display.
