Scrolling bad in ModeX (Was: Nixterm: a simple terminal for LibGGI)

I checked it immediately. It seems to work fine, though in all `mode-x`
resolutions in svgalib, the scrolling is completely wrong. In X11 it works
okay, and in 320x200x256 in svgalib I see no problems either. I think there's
a bug in using the bitplanes of mode-x in svgalib through libggi.

I still haven't found a decent way to do page-flipping in libggi-on-svgalib
by the way. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
