hi!

 I'm trying to make a little graphical program, and I'm thinking in
use the (IBM 80486) BIOS interruptions to set the video mode and 
put pixels on the screen (I'm looking for better solutions.. anyone?).
        I used to do this under DOS But I observed that FreeBSD 
(surprisingly! :)  ) doesn't come with a dos.h library! I found out this 
bios.h file, with a structure of registers, and a
function to call interruptions, but I couldn't figure out how it works... 
(what the hell is this first argument?).
        I know that I can draw on the screen writting directely to the 
0xa0000 adress, and since I don't know how to do that in C (anyone 
again? :)  ), The solution I found was the interruptions... But to set 
the video mode, can I use the vidcontrol program? How??? Even for 
high resolutions like 1024x760?
