Check out the sample /usr/local/lib/libvga.config file which comes with the recent versions of SVGAlib. There is a monitor type option to choose the maximum frequency your monitor supports (mine is standard non-interlaced SVGA, max. 48.3 kHz, which corresponds to "M4" in SVGAlib, yours might be less)... Also, SVGAlib only supports a small number of chipsets, compared to X, so that's another disadvantage. > A SVGAlib executor would be a big deal, if nothing else you would gain > back 4+Meg of memory that X take up. Not for me, I use X for all sorts of stuff... Still an SVGAlib version, although not a high priority, would be nifty for the speed boost. > > > > I think everyone wants to see sound. :-) > > yes!
