Help - How to support GUI

[ksk]

hi,

Can someone help me - I want to have a GUI interface for my OS. But I don't know where to start - my bios allows me to get the maximum res of 640 x 200 - doesn't look pretty for GUI though.

I want a higher resolution - How am I to program such a driver for my terminal ?

Thanks
ksk

Hi ksk,
you could use the VESA BIOS Extensions (VBE):

VESA supports hi-res graphic-modes up to 1600*1200 - unfortunately it's no longer supported by all cards.
