Hi,

this is an updated version of the VMware SVGA framebuffer driver.
I added console acceleration for clears and moves, removed all
VGA code (not needed at all in SVGA mode) and did a "Lindent" ;)

The patch applies against Linux 2.4.19-pre8.


Unfortunately acceleration can only be disabled at init time via
kernel/module parameter 'noaccel' (video=vmware:noaccel).
Once acceleration is enabled only a Power Off can reset the virtual
hardware for unaccelerated usage. It's a limitation of all currently
available VMware versions (including Workstation 3.1).

Accelerated text drawing will soon be added.
