I'm not a C programmer, let alone a developer, so this may be a stupid question, but here goes... has anyone ever tried doing a HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) to present a reasonably stable interface to binary video drivers? Think of it as a shim translating a "pseudo-API" into "the real API" that the kernel exposes directly. Surely, we can do better than VESA. Give drivers 2 options... 1) direct kernel access like now 2) access via the HAL/shim -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
