I guess it needs to be placed in a more prominent place then the message
board faq.
To subscribe, send a message with the content
"subscribe linux-svgalib" to listbot@svgalib.org.

There is no support for the lcd features in the rage driver. This really
complicated the driver, so when I modified the X driver for svgalib, I
left those parts out. To add this requires access to the hardware, which
I don't have. If you (or anybody else) wish to add this support, I'll be
glad to help.
