Hi, I am just wondering how I can access either BIOS calls, or preferably registers under FreeBSD?
I am trying to write a simple system capable of displaying graphics on the screen, and I am pretty sure I can mmap the VGA memory to my programs address space. However, to be able to output graphics onto the screen I think I need to change the state of the VGA registers from text mode (I am guessing thats what the console driver uses) to graphical mode (of which i know there exist a couple) - but I think that involves programming registers and I dont know how to do that under FreeBSD. Also, for the FreeBSD console driver to pick the console back up once it finished working, would I be required to reset the VGA registers back to text mode? Thanks, Alex J Burke. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
