The demo program scrolltest uses that function for one of its modes. I
haven't yet figured out how to paint to part of the screen not being
displayed, but I haven't looked hard, either.

Bless you. I'd pay for that functionality; hoping that linux can return to
the task while verical blanking is still occuring. The other option is to
modify the driver for the 65545. You wouldn't happen to know the name of
the file, would you? That way I could have the interrupt routine change
what's being displayed and set the new palette as well. That way I get a
clean transition from frame to frame.

The system is busy doing other things, like being both clients and servers
network on the network, and talking on various other I/O channels.
