- This program in inherently dangerous to use if you are easily scared.
-
- Some people jump for their RESET-button from the slightest hint of something
- going wrong. This is not only a very un-wise thing to do on a UNIX system,
- but also completely needless.
-
- When first trying this program, you might very well experience a dozen
- possible weird things happening to your screen. The thing to keep in mind
- here is:
-
-
- DON'T PANIC !
-
-
- (this should be printed in "large, friendly letters" ;-)
-
-
- It's not because your monitor makes strange noises, or because your display
- does something extra-terrestrial, that something is going to be broken. This
- is very unlikely to happen (but NOT impossible...). Make sure you weren't
- running any important applications when trying SVGATextMode for the first
- time, and just reboot your machine cleanly if even "SVGATextMode 80x25",
- "set80" or "textmode" cannot restore your text mode.
-
-
- By using this program, you run a VERY small risk of really breaking
- something (like boiling a VGA chip down to ashes ;-). It should be clear to
- you that I can and will not be held responsible for this.
-
- Be carefull, read the documentation, and use your common sense. Linux users
- are no dummies.
-
-
-
- Good luck!
-
