- I should clarify: there are technical and performance reasons why we
- have not yet implemented this trick for VBE 2 drivers. The exact
- reason is complicated, but basically with a VBE 2 driver our blitter
- now draws directly to the SVGA board, without a separate "internal
- screen", and it is somewhat difficult to make it flip all pixel values
- everywhere. It would also be slower if it did.
-
- Maybe in 1.99o we'll have an option "annoying border color or slightly
- slower graphics".
