Sounds like a profound argument, but it would need several changes:

  * The name tgi_init would be wrong after that change. The function should
    probably be renamed to tgi_graph_on or something similar. This would also
    mean that the driver entry point should be renamed.

  * Without being in graphics mode, the C wrapper functions cannot call the
    driver. So quite some functionality that is currently in tgi_init cannot
    be moved to tgi_install, but has to be moved into the driver itself.

This would mean that quite some changes are necessary, because there are
already 10 TGI drivers available, and of course I'm the one who is supposed to
make these changes. So my decision is that I won't promise anything:-) I will
place it onto the todo list, and there it will stay until I make the changes
or not:-)
