Andrzej Bialecki <abial@nask.pl> stands accused of saying: > Now, its libbitblit supports only 320x200x256 and 640x480x2 modes (except > some other extended modes on Trident cards).

This doesn't help you now, but I am writing VESA VBE code that will provide you with all of the standard VESA modes provided by your card's BIOS. I plan on integrating the VESA code into the console system, simply because anything else causes lots of evil problems. :( Expect stuff to appear in about 2 months or so. It's not that it's overly complex, but rather that I don't have much time to devote to it. *sigh* Soren wants to see it merged into libvgl -- I would prefer to replace libvgl with something more robust at the same time. Hmm.. Maybe I should start work on a 'better libvgl' immediatly, so that the API can affirm itself before I get the VESA VBE code online? -- Jonathan Mini (j_mini@efn.org) "A child of five could understand this!
