Hi,
I run bsdi 2.0 on a PC with a diamond stealth 1MB dram video card running X.
I want to add a second DS 1MB dram card to use as a dumb frame store NOT under
X. That is, I want to be able to set it up in 1024x768x8 bit mode and simply
write data into it. Essentially, I need to write a very simple driver to
enable me to initialise the card as described above and then write data to it.
Any Ideas ?
Thanks,
James Mahon
