.SH AUTHORS
The tiny-X server was written by Keith Packard, and the VESA driver
was added by Juliusz Chroboczek who didn't realise what he was doing
until it was too late. Tiny-X uses code from XFree86, which in turn
is based on the Sample Implementation. Keith Packard then added support for
standard VGA BIOS modes and is especially proud of 320x200 16 color mode.
