How is this handled? Currently prep is only able to do so on s3 cards by very carefully, and slightly incorrectly setting text mode by hand. This trick doesn't work on the mga cards that appear in some prep boxes, and on other things, so it's a little hokey. The trick to set text mode is prety much undocumented and card specific. Ideally, we would have some kind of simple rascons/genfb device in libsa to solve this problem. --- Tim Rightnour <root%garbled.net@localhost> NetBSD: Free multi-architecture OS http://www.netbsd.org/ Genecys: Open Source 3D MMORPG: http://www.genecys.org/
