Been reading about the framebuffer patch for
povray but I wonder if it would conflict with a framebuffer
that has a bootsplash background image.  What I mean is
something like this:

	Although I haven't tried it yet (I saw the gentoo live cd is doing
something like that but still have to see how) -- it is likely that the
povray framebuffer patch will trash the background image when the display
is closed and the framebuffer cleared.  Since the clearing stuff is buggy*
in the patch, I plan to remove it anyway.  However there still will be
particular situations (depending on the pov scene) where the trashing
won't be avoidable, at least until I find a better -but probably slower-
solution.

* Unfortunately there's a bunch of other bugs to fix too  :-(
