I have started developing a small set of library of functions (very much work in progress) to support VBE programming. Since the whole spirit of DJGPP seems to be "share your knowledge", "share uour code", I am happy to send you through my current source. The code I've developed currently supports real mode banking; protected mode banking; & linear frame buffer. I have tested it on about 4 different cards so far. It would be quite good to test on yours as well :). One thing I will say is that all the cards I have used use 64K banks & 64K gran. I wonder what cards have different values than this, as I have yet to come accross any. Also, no cards I have tested have needed me to assign a selector to the protected mode banking code. (this is required if the pm code needs to use memory mapped IO ports to talk to the card). So testing on such a card would also be good. Bruce.
