Subject: Re: using my video card...

If you feel like being ATI-specific, you can program it's linear mode
yourself and access the memory at (0xe00000000 + physical linear
address).  However, the page-handling code in go32 is efficient enough
that the gain for using linear mapping is only a few percent.  It's
better to use the page mapped mode and libgrx drivers, since you are
still portable to any graphics card.
