Recent changes in the FreeGEM driver world:
* The 256-colour VESA driver is now integrated into the FreeGEM driver source
tree. There have been a few more bugfixes in it, related to line and text
drawing.
* There's an 800x600x16 VESA driver (inspired by Heinz Rath's similar
driver).
* There's a 640x200x4 Plantronics driver, in case you've got an ATI Graphics
Solution or a real Plantronics card.
* There are four other drivers which I've included mainly for fun (or for
homesick Atarians):
> 320x200x256 VGA
> 320x200x4 CGA
> 320x200x4 CGA, reverse video
> 320x360x4 3270 PC
These don't support multiple codepages, because they use a 5x7 font (from
X11) and I haven't updated GEM.CPI or the codepage loader to handle 5x7
fonts.
* If you decide to use one of the 4-colour drivers, there's a Desk Accessory
included to switch between the two palettes (red/green/yellow and
magenta/cyan/white).
