>>there is VESA32 standard with 32bit entries and linear framebuffer, but
>>I don't know how many cards support that thing...

roger used 16-bit mode in the bootstrap to set up
a linear framebuffer because nothing much actually supported
the 32-bit mode, even if you could trust the BIOS not to do
something silly.  it might have changed.  i was going to tar
up his code and put it on a web site, once i'd located the pieces
again, in case anyone was sufficiently keen.
