- This is really an svgalib question, not an Executor question. It
- sounds like svgalib doesn't recognize your card, so you're only able
- to use plain old vga modes (such as 640x480 @ 16 colors). Make sure
- svgalib really supports your card (there are many cards it does not
- support), and make sure your libvga.config accurately describes your
- system.
