Yes, great work indeed.
Lots of fundamental problems that
were ignored for years, were magically
resolved.

Not obviously. At least I think Emmanuel
Jeandel wrote an SDL frontend, which can
be used for full-screen graphics. I wonder
if it is still being developed or dropped
(which would be a shame).

Yes, SVGA driver for console (direct VESA)
is not yet. I was working on it a lot, but
stucked due to a linux kernel limitation.
I expect to return to the problem and
resolve the limitation one day.
For now you can still use a direct VESA
with some old cards like S3 or SiS.

For now - probably not:( Downgrade your
video card to S3 is only what comes in
a mind.

Ctrl-Alt-Home works for me (not any
of the 2 Home buttons, but one works),
but it doesn't work for some people
for the so far unknown reasons.
