+   Q) I tried to set refresh rate w/ DMesa, but without success.

+   A) Refresh rate control works only for VESA 3.0. If you were compiling for

+      Glide, see Glide info. If not, sorry!

    Q) I made a simple application and it does nothing. It exits right away. Not

       even a blank screen.

-   A) Single-buffered is not allowed at all. Until I can find a way to use

-      *REAL* hardware acceleration, it won't get implemented.

+   A) Only DMesa+FX supports single-buffered. The standard VESA/VGA drivers

+      will always work in double-buffered modes. If/When I will find a way to

+      use *REAL* hardware acceleration for a specific card, it might or might

+      not support single-buffered modes.

    A) Another weird "feature" is that buffer width must be multiple of 8 (I'm a

       lazy programmer and I found that the easiest way to keep buffer handling

       at peak performance ;-).
