IIRC his SVGA BGI driver used the width in pixels instead of the number of bytes per scan line in calculating the video offsets, and that made it not work properly in cases where the number of bytes per scan line is larger. Did you fix this bug in your fork? IIRC again, it was easy to fix, just by replacing a variable name in a few places.
