eeeiiii haaaa...

hip, hip, hurrayyy!!! Does it mean there are chances for userland video library supporting hi-res graphics? :-))

How about making it an LKM? Then the kernel will know how to put the video card back into a sane state when your graphical app crashes..

Just bolt it into syscons instead of the current mode changing. Much more orthogonal. But one thing at a time - this code needs testing and cleaning. Start there.

Gee.. Lets just port the GGI API.. They are working on an X server which uses GGI.. Mmm, no more unreadable kernel messages when your X server crashes..

*Yawn* The GGI stuff hasn't exactly impressed anyone with the speed with which it (hasn't) improved recently. I can't see it congealing into anything really useful before GLiDE completely obsoletes it. 8)
