Did you talk at all about memory mngmt? For instance when setting a mode
is it needed to have a frame buffer or at least enuff memory for that
mode. The reason I ask is in the VGA days one could have 6 FBs. I know
for most things 2 will be sufficent but 3 is also good, thought it's true
you probly rarely need a full-screen FB.
