hi, guys!
I'm scratching an os project named Snixos on PC platform at http://bk.myrime.com. By now, I've roughly composed the framework of it with moldules of a simple memory management, a RAM disk file system, a simple VGA TEXT and GRAPHICS mode driver, a keyboard driver,a task scheduler which can make up to 16 tasks operated on a single CPU under the time-sharing mechanism. Also in VGA GRAPHICS mode, it has the ability to manipulate the Chinese character input and output. and now it can run on emulators such as bochs and vmware, also the bare PC is successfully tested.
But now , the driver for VGA GRAPHICS can only work on the 640x480 monochrome mode , I need a new VGA driver from you to work on 640x480 16bit color mode without BIOS accessing, also I'd like to receive your code to demonstrate how the mouse is driven in PC platform.
I'm looking forward to receive your reply . Thanks!

Re:help on mouse and VGA programming in os development
i'd rather suggest you to document on VBE and try to work with a "serious" video mode such as 640x480x256 (bare minimum) or e.g. 800x600x16M ...
16 bits colour modes are a real pain to implement, and not that useful.

hi guys:
Thanks you all. Mouse had been driven in Snixos by referring the code listed in post 2.

glad to hear it, but bk.myrime.com doesn't respond here. i suggest you ensure having a 24/7 running server before you advertises URL on world-wide forum ...
