You may need to be root in order to have IO permissions to drive the VGA device. ## OPTIONS - `-physz=,[dpi]` This option will provide a physical screen size for applications which wish to remain resolution independent. *sizex*, *sizey* are the x,y size of the screen in millimeters, unless the optional `dpi` string is affixed, in which case, they represent resolution in dots-per-inch. ## FEATURES - • DirectBuffer is available for the 320x200x8 mode. For other modes, support is only available if SVGAlib supports linear addressing. - • Unaccelerated ## BUGS - • The getbox test of demo.c does not work correct on modeX. - • copybox is not implemented for banked and modeX modes. - • 1 and 4 bit modes don't work
