    Now we need some way to use the drivers, kinda like how SVGAlib did (unless we're stuck with SDL).

      You have plenty of graphics libraries implementing programming interfaces to use your graphics hardware. The main graphics API is called OpenGL and I'm sure it's available on your distro.

      SDL is awesome!

          Disappointing, but understandable. They could simply have stated that there was not enough motivation to work on it.

            This is in LaTeX and therefore written in stone, while easily printed into pdf or many other formats without loss of formatting...

                Not sure how many books or maths assignments you wrote, but this is definitely the right way to go...

                  How appealing do you find looking at something like this?

                    It also automates management of citations, bibliographies etc.
