I'm just wondering if svgalib is now, or will soon be, able to work
with framebuffer text modes (that are set using the kernel's
framebuffer device at bootup, eg, "vga="791").
Last time I tried using svgalib apps from framebuffered consoles, it
failed to restore the framebuffer mode (resulting in an
unrecoverable blank screen - fumbling around in the dark, doing
"startx" saved me from a potential hard reboot and at least gave me
a working user interface :)
If not, then this is perhaps something that does need to be looked
at rather urgently...
Thanks.
Cheers
Tony
