:o, GREAT! It is enough. Since All VGA Card supports this mode!
(If user is using EGA/CGA/HGA, we can't help............:p)

IMO, Shark provide a Generic Graphical Interface for drawing. We should
think about making a Generic Device Loader and then we make a Generic
Graphics Adaptor Driver.

I think we should use CVS. But I donno how to operate the CVS and we got
no right to access current JJOS CVS.

Would u mind pack several files to me that allows me to turn JOS to VGA Mode ?
Also, I found a Pascal Program that contains lots of SVGA Information using
VGA
Register. It called "WhatVGA". It contains lots of drivers. I think it can
cover more
than 50% of current Adaptor. We can get those information and make the drivers
for the users.

Hilary
