This is a low level console graphics library, originally based on VGAlib 1.2 by
|
|
Tommy Frandsen. VGAlib supported a number of standard VGA graphics modes, as
|
|
well as high resolution/high color modes on many popular graphics adapters. As
|
|
of now, support for many more chipsets had been added.
|
|
|
|
It supports transparent virtual console switching, that is, you can switch
|
|
consoles to and from text and graphics mode consoles using alt-[function key].
|
|
Also, SVGAlib corrects most of VGAlib's textmode corruption behaviour by
|
|
catching SIGSEGV, SIGFPE, SIGILL, and other fatal signals and ensuring that a
|
|
program is running in the currently visible virtual console before setting a
|
|
graphics mode.
