Partial refresh is not supported yet, so this can only be used with full refresh for now.

I'm working on partial refresh, but am having a problem with "partial window" (where only a part of the screen is refreshed at a time). At the moment, I've got to the point in local dev where I "fake" full refresh support but actually do a partial refresh even when --nopartial is enabled; this faking is so that PaperTTY provides a full screen to refresh rather than just the part that needs to be updated.

All that partial stuff is still in the debugging phase so I haven't uploaded it yet, but till then, I thought I might as well upload the full-refresh part for people to use :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you very much! Hardware support is always welcome, nice work.

If you do get the partial refresh working, it'll be a great addition too. I'll merge this one for now and update the hardware list.

@badrihippo Did you make any progress with your partial support effort? I'm also interested in it :)

@colin-nolan not yet, I got caught up in other stuff 🙁 I hope to get back sometime though.
