It wasnt too difficult and if anyone wants instructions on how I did it feel free to email me. Could anyone provide a rough overview of the vga driver code in the kernal and aux/vga ? I have a few ideas of where to start but there are quite a few structs invloved whose members and purposes I can only guess at. Ive managed to drag the source for the TGUI9680 out of SVGAlib and XFree86 as well as a register list so I have these as a starting point for talking to my card. Any help would be most appreciated. Cheers Robin
