VGAlib supported a number of standard VGA graphics modes, +as well high resolution/high color modes on many popular graphics adapters. As +of now, support for many more chipsets has been added. + +It supports transparent virtual console switching, that is, you can switch +consoles to and from text and graphics mode consoles using alt-[function key]. +Also, svgalib corrects most of VGAlib's textmode corruption behaviour by +catching SIGSEGV, SIGFPE, SIGILL, and other fatal signals and ensuring that +a program is running in the currently visible virtual console before setting a +graphics mode. + +WWW: http://www.svgalib.org/ |
