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 found 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 behavior
|
|
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.
