I know the feeling.. Glad to know that you are doing well though :) How's
this debugger of yours coming.. I'd be interested to see how it looks like :)

1) libggi and extensions work.

2) libggi2D i don't know (Thomas, what's the status ?)

3) kgicon works, and drivers are being adapted (a very small change) to it -
it allows for console graphics using all our drivers on a native kernel. it
misses accel and console multihead at the moment, but it shouldn't be
much work.

4) steffen's KGI spec is ready and solid, and I of course _still_ want a
native KGI. we will probably not get it into the kernel if we rewrite the
console bits from roof to top, be them superior or so, but I still want it.

2.1.111 (haven't tried 112 yet) works well here with fbcon/kgicon,
and even now my scsi board, woo hoo.

G'day, eh? :-) (heh, I missed that :)
