>From the book I mentioned in an earlier message there is code for
detecting the presence of one or two cards of type:
MDA
CGA
EGA
MCGA
VGA
Hercules Graphics Card
Hercules Graphics Card+
Hercules In Color Card

I guess this would be good for the ELKS kernel to autodetect
at boot, and then applications could (in a way you kernel people 
decide on) ask what kind of framebuffer there is,
allocate the framebuffer and go on doing graphics.
Maybe ELKS already can detect these, if so, please have patience
with me.

(Should ELKS support two graphics cards, BTW?)

(There is also code for detecting which videomode the herc - card
is in.
Would that be of any use for ELKS?)
