What about this from the man page: void VGLSetPalette(byte *red, byte *green, byte *blue) This function sets the palette used, the arguments red, green, blue should point to byte arrays of 256 positions each. and void VGLSetPaletteIndex(byte color, byte red, byte green, byte blue) Set the palette index color to the specified RGB value. > - No keyboard support.

VGL needs a little adjustment to it's keyboard init function to really support games. In the raw and code modes the tty code in the kernel filters out all TABs, 'u's and a couple of others (at least I think it's the tty.) I have a few lines of code I put into doom to make it work under VGL. Let me know if you are interested. > - Possibly broken joystick support (I've never used the joy(4) driver > before...). Kurt
