I am interested in creating a console driver for the VEGA VRAM card
for XENIX V/386 v2.3.1. I thought I read in Discover that starting
with 2.3.1 the console drivers would be modular so that third partys
could add support for non-standard video cards. I also remember that
there was supposed to be a console driver development kit available.
Does anyone have this kit? If so, what does it contain? Has anyone
already written a driver for the 600x800 and 768x1024 modes for the
VEGA VRAM card (or any other VGA card with extended modes for that
matter?)
Also, I have not purchased the card yet, and would like to know what
the problems are when using that card with XENIX before I buy it. I'd
also be interested in recommendations on super VGA cards.
Thanks in advance for your help.
