Upon upgrading to 128pre4 I decided to experiment a little and in
this experimenation i discovered the framebuffer code (never used
it before because well, framebuffer meant something else to me :).
Currently I am using 129pre6.
Anyways, onto the point. I have an 8meg G200 (which I'm using at
1280x1024) and a PII-350 (not overclocked. I feel satisfied with
that speed... for now :) and I am having a couple of hassles
with the fb code.
1. I can't find a way to increase the refresh rate of the screen
above 60. I'd like it at 85 preferably and the vf/vh options
don't seem to do it. Not being able to do this really screws
with my eyes.
2. When using zgv to view a picture (not that it gets the size
right...) in svgalib's VESA mode there is trash at the top of
the screen when I exit.
3. When swapping between consoles (alt+f<num>) i occasionally
get a copy of the bottom of the last console on the new and the
new one is shifted up. The size of this varies and just now I
got the top part of the console I switched to at the bottom.
Swapping back and forth again 'fixes' it.
Other then the above it's great and being able to have a screen
that's 160x64 is somewhat nice. :)
Also, is there any point to opening up the console at 32bpp and
would it be possible to assign different rgb codes to the 16 (32
if you count the bright ones) colours?
