Reading the handbook from console

[Peter Vereshagin]

Hello.

TM> On my now-older computer (from July 2001, 256 MB RAM), svgalib ran on FreeBSD but was very crash-prone.
TM> 
TM> svgalib in Linux was erratic and caused color distortions when switching to an X window.
TM> 
TM> So I decided I wanted no part of svgalib on the new computer, FreeBSD or Linux.
TM> 
TM> Use ASCII art or framebuffer?

If you're about to ascii then I'd say that 'svgatextmode' was great when I used linux.

And, I don't believe the 'frame buffer' stuff is usable in freebsd.

Thank you.
