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