Hi Roberto,

You're still using kzalloc for the backing buffer which failed on my 
CentOS 64 bit machine - I changed it to vmalloc and it worked.

The other thing which got me is that I read the above as being 1920x1200 
- you're actually allocating 1600x1200 by default which caused a nasty 
crash when I attached to my 1920x1200 monitor.

I also get lots of blue painted in the background instead of plain black 
- I don't know if this is another 64 bitism I haven't tried on a 32bit 
OS yet. And there are a couple of warnings for ints/long ints - one is 
in a printf which is fairly innoccuous, although another is in the 
passing of

Great work!

thanks,

Dan.
