Hi

I'm developping an Xserver under Linux for the GLINT-based display
adapter Gloria-L from Elsa. The board contains the VGA compatible chip 
S3 ViRGE + Glint Delta + Glint 500TX from 3dlabs. The problem is that
on some boards we can't write to the framebuffer under Linux, so I
decided to make some register dumps under Win95 to compare these with
mine under Linux. 

Under Linux you just memory map the linear register space 
(Base:0xF0000000, Size:128k), which simply looks like this:

--
fd = open("/dev/mem", O_RDWR);
base = (pointer)mmap((caddr_t)0, Size,
                     PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
                     MAP_SHARED, fd,
                     (off_t)((off_t)Base));
close(fd)
--

Is there a possibility to mmap these registers also under Windows 95
or read them otherwise during the Win95 driver runs? 
Any ideas?

I use the gnu-win32 C Compiler, which contains a "mmap" and "open"
function since Beta 18, but I know there is no "/dev/mem" under
Windows95 ...

Stefan

P.S.: Glint Delta and Glint 500TX use the same control register space.
