I believe that is one of the goals of the X frame buffer driver, reading/writing directly to the frame buffer, in many cases really slow but at least it is very compadible (from what I have read, I don't know the technical details) Don't know the status on it yet, and i think it depends on frame buffer code in the kernel that is still beta (?) nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 4:06pm up 109 days, 3:49, 4 users, load average: 1.51, 1.63, 1.62
