XFree86 3.9jf (18 April 1998)
1147. Add xf1bpp framebuffer for use by vga2 and mono (i.e. hga2)

      Marc La France).
1146. A mode that fails validation (for whatever reason) no longer
      affects the resulting virtual resolution (#1636, Marc La France).
1145. miScanlineWidth() is now passed the hardware plane pixmap format
      rather than nBankBPP (the harware plane bpp) and nPixelBPP (the
      "total" bpp), and have xf86ValidateModes() call miScanLineWidth()
      to determine an appropriate line pitch for the virtual resolution
      requested (#1636, Marc La France).
1144. Remove the helpers' concept of pixelArea as this can be derived
      from videoRam and bitsPerPixel, express pitchInc in bits, and
      pass apertureSize to mode validation helper (#1636, Marc La France).

      Marc La France).

      display (#1636, Marc La France).
1141. Use low-level backing store functions to save/restore the
      screen during VC switches (doesn't work with vga16) (#1636,
      Marc La France).

      into the ScreenRec.  This allows them to be wrapped (#1636,
      Marc La France).
1139. Rename [GS]etRootPixmap screen entries to [GS]etScreenPixmap
      and add [GS]etWindowPixmap entries.  Some may not be needed and
      can be removed later (#1636, Marc La France).
1138. Remove cfbScreenInitLong() entries.  They are not needed since the
      RGB ordering and masks can be fixed after calling cfbScreenInit()
      (#1636, Marc La France).
1137. Fix the saving and restoring of PSZ #define in cfb??.h headers,
      add copyright notice to them, and get right Imakefile to include
      them in the link kit (#1636, Marc La France).
1136. Fix oversight in 1133 (#1636, Marc La France).
1135. Some include file fixes (#1539, Marc La France).

      preparation for the banking mi wrapper (#1451, Marc La France).
1132. Minor bug fix to mfb and afb framebuffers (#1443, Marc La France).
1131. Ensure window and GC privates are aligned on a sizeof(long)
      boundary (#1442, Marc La France).
