The developing of a standard for these video card manufacturers to comply with would allow a simplication for development of video drivers for X or other Unix graphics based applications. It would necessarily have to be VESA. It could be an Open Systems standard. #include <disclaimer.h> -- Ken Germann ZZZZ EEEE OO SSS ZEOS International, Ltd. support@zeos.com INET Z E O O S Technical Support Dept. uunet!zeos!support UUCP Z EE O O SS 530 5th Ave N.W. 800-228-5390 VOICE Z E O O S St. Paul, MN 55112 612-633-7337 ZZZZ EEEE OO SSS FAX 612-633-4607
