Subject: [ANNOUNCE] hgafb (framebuffer driver for HGA cards) v0.1.3


Hgafb v0.1.3 for kernel version 2.3.40 is available at:
	http://drama.obuda.kando.hu/~fero/cgi-bin/hgafb.shtml

Features and changes:
	- rewritten to take advantages of the new fb_info structure
	- shows a nice boot logo
	- shows an other logo if compiled as module
	  (it can be disabled: 'insmod hgafb nologo=1')
	- supports boot time font selection with kernel parameter:
	  'video=hga:font:{fontname}'
	  or if complied as module: 'insmod hgafb font={fontname}'
	- supports run-time font selection with 'setfont'
	- provides console size up to 90x58 chars (with font size 8x6)
	- using virtual resolution (up to 720x364) and display 
	  panning is possible
	- provides scrollback feature (the only way to use scrollback 
	  on Hercules cards AFAIK)
	- can be used as a secondary display adapter

Todo:
	- documentation
	- text mode acceleration
	- lightpen support

Any kind of feedbacks are welcome!

Best regards:
	Ferenc Bakonyi
