-lidbha - Direct Hardware Access library
-=======================================
-
-This library was designed for providing direct hardware access under different
-OS'es and architectures, so it's platform- and os-independent.
-
-The main project on the top of libdha is Vidix. It provides userspace
-video drivers for Matrox, Ati, 3Dlabs, Trident (and it's still evolving).
-
-For the full list of supported OS'es read the sources, anyway here's a 'reported
-as working' list (these platforms are used daily):
- Linux/x86
- FreeBSD/x86
- NetBSD/x86
- Linux/PPC
-
-There are different ways to access the hardware, normally only ROOT can do that.
-With root privileges libdha will run fine, but there are some others ways
-to use it as a normal user:
-1, set the SUID bit on the binary (in this way it runs with root privileges)
-2, use svgalib kernel helper
-3, use dhahelper (not yet finished)
-
-The library is based on XFree86 and gfxdump (a utility from the GATOS project)
-sources.
-
-Original import and design by Nick Kurshev and Alex Beregszaszi.
-Current maintenance and dhahelper by Alex Beregszaszi.
-Svgalib kernelhelper support by Matan Ziv-Av.
