NAME
       display-auto : OS dependent target autodetection

SYNOPSIS
       display-auto

DESCRIPTION
       It provides OS dependent target autodetection.

       It  is  automatically  invoked  when  you  open	a  default target with
       ggiOpen(). It unloads itself  automatically  before  ggiOpen()  returns
       back to the application, successful or not.

       It probes several targets. It tries the next target when the one before
       is given up.  Before a target is given up, it can even probe  a	target
       with different (target specific) options.

EXAMPLES
       Say, you're on a remote session and open a default target.  Say, the X-
       target is tried first. It fails, because	 the  shm  extension  is  only
       locally usable.	So it tries the X-target again, but this time with the
       -noshm option. This should work then.

       Say, you are on a console, no  X	 available.  The  X-target  will  fail
       (after  some  retries). If you are on Linux, next targets may be fbdev,
       svgalib, terminfo, aalib, etc.  If you are on FreeBSD, next targets may
       be vgl and aalib.

       Similar	counts	for  all other Operating Systems such as MacOSX, Open-
       and NetBSD, Windows, Solaris, etc.
