- Release 1.3.1
-
- Changes From 1.3.0:
- No big changes from 1.3.0, mainly fixes.
- - The VESA driver compiles with glibc.
-
- Caveats since 1.2.13:
- - The environment variable GSVGAMODE was renamed to SVGALIB_DEFAULT_MODE
- - All MOUSE_* environment variables were removed.
- - MAX_REGS was changed. This means that you MAY NO LONGER use old VGA
- state files created with restoretextmode. Simply recreat them with
- the new version of restoretextmode and you should be fine.
-
- Major New features since 1.2.13:
- - Reads ~/.svgalibrc & where SVGALIB_CONFIG_FILE points.
- - Logarithmic Mouse Acceleration & Mouse event emulation on raw keyboards
- all configurable from a file.
- - Added apm driver for AT3D.
- - Added nv3 driver for Riva128.
- - Added ET6000 driver.
- - Mouse acceleration/override can be configured from config file.
- - Added joystick support.
- - Added Microsoft IntelliMouse/Logitech MouseMan+ support.
- - Faking keyboard presses on Mousewheel turns.
- - Added a Vesa driver: NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE:
- This does not mean that all so called 'vesa' cards now work as Joe
- Blow User seems to think, this is just too difficult if not impossible.
- You might need a decent kernel (I think 2.0.32 was reported working) and
- nicely behaved card with a VESA bios extension in ROM. Right now, only
- one of three (namely STB Velocity 128, AT25 and CL-5446 don't)
- works.
- - There seems to be a need for 512x384 mode timings. It is difficult to add
- these for cards where predefined mode timings have to be dumped from the
- card or bios. For those drivers flexible enough to set own timings, such
- an example timing was added to the 'demo' libvga.config
-
- Major fixes since 1.2.13:
- - Makefile fixes.
- - Mach32 calculation of monitor limits in interlace modes.
-
- NOTE: There were some preversions of 1.3.0 floating through the net already,
- this, however, is the 'official' version. Finally, although the maintainer
- will try to answer any emails, it is appreciated when you mail/join the
- mailing list linux-svgalib@vger.rutgers.edu (mail a msg 'help' to
- Majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu for details on subscription) instead. I'll read
- any mail there too but the discussion/answer can be discussed by many
- people and I don't have to write the same mail every one or two days to
- different people.
