I'm just wondering if svgalib is now, or will soon be, able to work with framebuffer text modes (that are set using the kernel's framebuffer device at bootup, eg, "vga="791"). Last time I tried using svgalib apps from framebuffered consoles, it failed to restore the framebuffer mode (resulting in an unrecoverable blank screen - fumbling around in the dark, doing "startx" saved me from a potential hard reboot and at least gave me a working user interface :) If not, then this is perhaps something that does need to be looked at rather urgently... Thanks.
