This version containg libvgagl.so.1.9.25 and libvga.so.1.9.25.
The latter used the default Makefile.cfg and supports all video chips.

I compiled also

http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/libvga.so.1.9.25-small - 260K

This is for most of my video chips (about 1/3 of what is on the list, 
including vesa, fbdev, trident, tseng, s3, chips, neomagic, nvidia, ati 
rage, rage128, matrox millenium, i810 - I skipped oak and cirrus and ati 
amd sis).

Nvidia (Riva) plus vesa.  (FBDEV produces a black screen and disables that
vt until you reboot - it has worked on other cards but is not needed).

Riva works with the above library file, chipset NV3 and chipset VESA.

I would appreciate someone testing the i180 driver so I don't need
to crawl under the desk and open up a tricky case and pull out the PCI 
video card we replaced onboard i810 with.  You can download my zgv package 
to test with.

I commented out the stuff about testing for RAMDACS but it made no size 
difference.

I don't know if the smaller drivers use less RAM.  Can't test right now 
without another vt.
