Also does anyone have any documentation on Linux's console implementation?
It looks like that the penguin could be displayed in user mode even without root permissions... [font loading doesn't need root... well there might be some problems with __ case...(don't ask;)]
so any ideas on how to display graphics in console using the font loading interface? - it must be possible - and hopefully without root ;)
[if you say you _must_ bash the i/o registers then explain why ... well vga i/o registers work kinda well with root though...]
(documentation on other parts of the console driver would be nice too;)
