I tried it a while back (I think under 2.0), and was impressed,
unfortunately not favourably.  It seems to work some of the time, but
it's full of rough edges, and when it crashes it can leave the
terminal state completely broken.  The version I saw also didn't work
under X.  I think it accesses the display adapter hardware directly.
