Will that change in the future? Quite possibly. The code is prepared for it, but I haven't decided how to handle memory (re)allocation when the console size changes. >> Does the Milan support on-the-fly resolution changes without re-initializing the VDI? > > I don't know. But in the case of the Milan (and all other Ataris/clones with VGA graphics cards) I would guess that it's most efficient to switch to VGA text mode for fullscreen console. Switching to VGA text mode is horror :) There is no API for this, so it has to be done the old fashioned way (in practice, it's chipset specific). I wrote some experimental code for it, but it only works on the ET4k/Hades. The Mach64 is fairly well documented, so it should definitely be doable. But painful. -- PeP
