- 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.

- 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.
