I'm no VMWare fan and their policy for releasing documentation used to
be beyond idiotic, but please lets stop spreading this nonsense about
NDAs?

From: http://www.vmware.com/resources/opensource/projects.html

"The video driver was one of the first pieces of software ever
released as open source by VMware - back in 2002"

And video is quite damned fast if you disable acceleration, certainly
much better than vesa on most modern video cards.

As for drawterm, can we kill it already? 9vx and Inferno are much
better alternatives..
