What I would need to use put my gui into an OS, and for that matter I think many people, is a little video driver
Procedure 1:
in other words a way to init the screen in basic 640x480(maybe you can explain how to go into higher resolutions too-I want to avoid BIOS and VESA-except the standard but no Vesa calls...)
Procedure 2:
a way to plot a pixel on the screen in RGB(16, 24 or 32 bit)
I dont wanna mess with palleted colours..
and this I suppose is best done is ASM but Im not a great coder in ASM so if someone could help me.. I am going to use the procedures in inline C++ (just letting you know) and will implement all and the fastest algorythms for lines(horizontal.....vert... its all in tricks of the windows game programing gurus by ASNDRE LAMONTHE)
so a bit of help would be appreciated.
thanks anticipated
PS hope u can read all I write fine... I dunno y but when I type on a forum I do all these short forms, ...'s and no capitals apostrophes... wierd

later
