> The latest code renders a large screen (one with more than 255 columns and/or lines) correctly. At least, that is, if your kernel is more recent than 2019 or so (I forget the precise release). If it's older then a large screen will be rendered incorrectly but you'll still be able to fix that by adding the LargeScreenBug=yes screen driver option.

Awesome, thanks a lot! Is it to say that there finally is support in the
kernel to know what the screen content is? Would you mind sharing how
this is achieved?
Thanks,
Seb.
