Hi Raster. Thanks for your splendid presentation of the graphics issue... I
didn't
manage to find it from the archives.

What really surprises me is the fact that if this is so clear, why is
Comunity not working
on qvga graphics yet? Is it not a waste of time to try to get glamo fully
working and then
keep on going over VGA resolution?

I'd prefer to drive the funnier modest car than to have the ferrary parked
outside... I though
linux and free software people were mostly this way.
