Is there any way in either user-space or kernel-space to make calls to the VBIOS to get it to call the INT routines?No. The closest thing is uvesa fb driver as it just does calls to the VESA bios through user-space daemon (if I understand how it works).
That's correct. You will probably be interested in the v86d code (i.e. the userspace daemon mentioned above), which does all the heavy lifting re VBIOS calls. Have a look at testvbe.c from the v86d tarball which demonstrates how to use the v86d code to call the VBIOS to get some info about the graphics adapter and supported video modes. -- Michal Januszewski, Gentoo Linux Developer http://people.gentoo.org/spock ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
