+  <A NAME=2.2.1.10>2.2.1.10.  AAlib - text mode displaying
+
+  <B>AAlib</B> is a library for displaying graphics in text mode, using powerful
+  ASCII renderer. There are LOTS of programs already supporting it, like Doom,
+  Quake, etc. MPlayer contains a very usable driver for it.
+  If ./configure detects aalib installed, the aalib libvo driver will be built.
+  It uses some keys to change Fast rendering ON/OFF, dithering mode change,
+  inverse picture, contrast, brightness. Use -vo aa and look out for the help
+  text.
+
+  NOTE: the rendering is very CPU intensive, especially when using AA-on-X
+        (using aalib on X), and it's least CPU intensive on standard,
+        non-framebuffer console. Use SVGATextMode to set up a big textmode,
+        then enjoy! (secondary head Hercules cards rock :)) (anyone can enhance
+        fbdev to do conversion/dithering to hgafb? Would be neat :)
