Most definately! There will be something in the next release for sure, and
if I can resolve a few problems I've had when switching modes and when
adjusting display parameters (height, width, x offset, and y offset), I
will be updating the -current sources. The -current stuff may just drop
right into the 1.2 source and work, although I haven't verified that yet.
I'm currently running Xdaniver with a 832x600x8 screen [due to limitations
of the X server and requirements of the AGA chipset, the width of the X
display has to be a multiple of 64 pixels].
