It should be out within a few weeks (after we release Executor/NSFIP),
and definitely before 2.0 ships. Executor's pretty darn fast under
SVGAlib with hardware accelerated rect fills and stuff, although
SVGAlib doesn't fully support many boards. With unsupported boards
SVGAlib forces you to use old-style VGA 640x480 16 colors, which is a
fairly slow mode under Executor.
The other problem is that many Linux mouse drivers don't support
FASYNC, which we need for smooth mouse operation. Apparently the
serial mouse driver has had this support for a long time, and it was
recently added to other mouse drivers.
