SubjectRe: Fuzzy textmode
So what's the point?
The current Linux kernel does not really touch the VGA
registers. This is all done in user space (from the X
server or tools like vgatextmode). If these programs
fail to work, this is a bug in these programs, not in
the Linux kernel (some people disagree and started the
GGI project).
