Bugger! :o( I'd have hoped to keep my 486 running well into the 21st
century ;o) Maybe you could have a word with that scitechsoft guy - he
does a lot of VESA stuff and might be able to help - he's the one who
asked about 8k I/O remap stuff earlier this week (forgotten his name
though!)
He does have a DOS UNIVBE driver that actually adds VESA 2.0 emulation to
the graphic cards that are limited to VESA 1.2, so it is possible to write
a vesafb 1.2 module that adds vesa 2.0 functionality.
Cheers,
Alex
