Is that standard between chipset vendors though? Or is there a common
way to identify which chipset vendor we're dealing with .. ?
I'm curious - not useful - I haven't played with VGA programming since
buffer juggling / Pallette rotating in Mode X about 6 years ago ... we don't
use video in our embedded gear ..
So ... say ...
getvendor:
get byte ... seg:offset ...
if Ali .. then jmp ali ..
if Riva .. then jmp riva ...
if Intel .. then jmp intel ..
etc ad nauseum.
ali:
copy big chunk of memory ..
jump to it.
riva:
intel:
And if that's the case, then why don't you add it to the Kernel?
