I've got the official Vesa VBE(3) spec (from the vesa webpage), it's a 87 page pdf
file...
hope that's ok too.

Hmm.. I'm not sure, I think it would be probably a better a idea for *me* to first try
to
make one linear mode available (and get it to display too!). Since I'm assuming linear
is
easier to develop then a banked video mode (I'm not familiar enough with plex to do
this
kind of things - so I'll do whatever is 'easiest' for me first in order to get a better
understanding of plex too).
I currently have a number of (linear frame buffer only) test programs, so I'm doing
some
tests with those to see if all gets initialized correctly (but my 'main' problem is
that
I'm not sure yet how to actually display anything on the host system).
