Hey! I know that there's plenty of documentation on VGA and VESA modes out there... but I'm wondering about using accelerated graphics. Does anyone have any info on it or any sites I can go to? I assume it works through ports like any other hardware. Thank you all for your time!

Have you tried this free vbe/af link?

www.talula.demon.co.uk/freebe/

There's a source code as well. Only negative thing is that the source code is not in asm but in djgpp.

I wonder if it's possible to programm kernel which should support redistributable directx library from m$ (or use those from wine/reactos) -> then native nvidia/ati drivers (*.sys/dll) would be supported Smile

I would think so. I don't know how, but I suspect if you can use PE format and potentially some windows software interfaces you could.
