- Hi Folks,
-
- We have a few small mods that we want to make before we release
- Executor/Linux/SVGAlib, but we hope to have a BleedingEdge SVGAlib
- version out within the next 24 hours. NOTE: this SVGAlib will be
- unsupported by us initially.
-
- The SVGAlib version is pretty cool if your video card is one that
- SVGAlib can linearly map into your address space. That allows games
- that normally would require refresh to run very smoothly and very
- quickly, and for some reason, the colors aren't too dark like they are
- under DOS and X-Windows.
-
- However, if you want to run the SVGAlib version you'll need kernel
- 1.3.15 or later and SVGAlib 1.27 (Mat had to fish that version out of
- Sunsite's Incoming directory a few days ago. I don't know if it's in
- the standard place yet or not). That's the purpose of this note, so
- you can get your machine up to speed while we put the finishing
- touches on the SVGAlib version.
