Hello. TM> On my now-older computer (from July 2001, 256 MB RAM), svgalib ran on FreeBSD but was very crash-prone. TM> TM> svgalib in Linux was erratic and caused color distortions when switching to an X window. TM> TM> So I decided I wanted no part of svgalib on the new computer, FreeBSD or Linux. TM> TM> Use ASCII art or framebuffer? If you're about to ascii then I'd say that 'svgatextmode' was great when I used linux. And, I don't believe the 'frame buffer' stuff is usable in freebsd. Thank you. -- Peter Vereshagin <peter@vereshagin.org> (http://vereshagin.org) pgp: 1754B9C1
