Begin3 Title: SVGA textmode manipulation/enhancement Version: 0.9 Entered-date: 6JUL95 Description: Uses extra features found in all SVGA video cards to enhance Linux text modes independently of what the BIOS can do. It is configured with an XF86Config-like file, and allows setting of pixel clock, H/V timings, font size, cursor size, etc. Enables using the video card AND the monitor to their full potential in textmode, as in XWindows. Current support includes S3, ET4000, Cirrus Logic, Trident, Western Digital, ATI (and MACH32) and Video7 (Headland techn.) cards. It can also use an external clock program and supports all S3 clock chips from XFREE 3.1.1. Features automatic font loading, monitor definition (H/V frequency limits), on-the-fly screen resizing. Also includes: palette changer, pixelclock probe, text/graphics mode grabber (for Linux and DOS), VGA register hacking tool, and a multi-chipset/clockchip ClockProg for X that supports ALL chipsets/clockchips from SVGATextMode.
