Matthieu bucchianeri (buckman) and I started this Monday 15th of October the portage of a framebuffer on SoS[1].
This ports contains 3 great parts:
- The vm86 driver
- The vbe driver
- The vesatty driver
The vm86 driver permits to do bioscall in protected mode. This driver was finish and works fine :).
The vbe driver is a set of conveniences functions to set the config of the fb to map the memory of the db , to get vbe structure etc... This driver is completed at 75%. We have a mystical bug because our driver works fine on qemu but doesn t work on a GeForce2 with vbe3 support....
The last driver permits to replace the current console print by a framebuffer print but it is not yet started.
We took contact with the sos' developers to know if they wan't our kernel patch and a new article for GNU/Linux magazine. I will keep you informed about the advancement of this project.
