Not to be rude but if you understand the microkernel concept, you would grasp more of what is going on. And, also, if I showed you code from an L4 microkernel program would you understand it? The...

OK you want the full details here they are. I am using an L4 microkernel (pistachio), so I don't know how you came to the assumption that I was using assembly in the first place, not because I asked...

anyone?

hello all,
I am trying to interface the VGA, however, it appears to be in text mode. I want to get it into mode 13h (320x240) but I can't seem to achieve this I looked at here...

It is an LCD monitor

I have an s3 trio32/64 video card with 2MB of video memory and a monitor that supports resolution up to 1024x768 32 bit. That is basically all I know, sorry if this still seems lacking. Also when I...

Is there a way to change this?

I already did that and couldn't find anything, hence the reason I'm asking here. Beside I that's not what I meant, I was talking about this:

Also, the only options I see are in the range of 80x60

yes that's the one

why? does this imply something?

I know this is slightly off topic, but I also tried installing Slackware and at start up it says something about undefined video number: 305. Is there a trend in these errors? I installed ubuntu to...

If run level 2 is multi user, no network, there was an option that said something about setting up network, etc and I kinda just told it not to setup network, because I do not have a network...

I am, in the process of learning but until I'm finished learning there somethings I don't know, one of them being how to edit a file in terminal. And besides it's not just me that's making the kernel...

I have accessed the terminal using "Ctrl+Alt+F1" I am not good with terminal so I used a ubuntu LiveCD to edit the /etc/inittab file. By default the file used runlevel 2, since you implied that the...

Ah, this too might help.

dude this is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the help.
Oh, and sorry about the vagueness of my questions, I'll try to do better next time

Like I said it's not going to run on any OS, I plan to use a boot floopy, load grub, let grub load the "firmware/interface whatever you want to call it", then the firmware/interface will interface...

Well its not really a driver, like I said its a firmware which basically interfaces the PCI slots in particular the video card. The pc I plan to experiment with, specs are:


forgive me if the...

Its not running on any OS, its going to be in assembly. If it sounds crazy that cause its an experiment. :)

I looked in there but its generally Linux specific. I wanted something a bit more generic, because I'm not using Linux for my project. And also I need really low, level access info, as in address...

Is x11 installed by the first CD? If not which CD do I need? And also yes solaris user, I do see POST when the PC turns on.

Hey, I recently installed Debian on a desktop PC but when it starts I can't see anything (the monitor say no signal). I don't have any idea or even a way to figure out what going on here since I...

For a project that I'm working on I want to write a low level PCI driver, but I can't seem to find any free/cheap documentation on PCI firmware specifications. I came across the "pci firmware...

I got it to work now. Apparently, there were some option in the compilation that caused the incompatibility issue. As far as boot ISOs go I've already started learning how to make one :D

Is there also a way to determine the function stack (start address of the function stack)?

Yea, they have a demo image. I don't intend to just boot a demo and stop there I want to know this stuff for when my project progresses. But anyways thanks a lot for all your help.
