That's what I figured out, too (STDVGA). I'd also be interested in a driver.
The lack of having enough drivers for djgpp and the fact that
it is therefore very hardware dependent is a real drawback and limits
the use of software developed with djgpp.

My suggestion:
The further development of DJGPP should aim on making gcc available
for WIN3.x, NT and Chicago (WIN32(s)) and making it possible to link to the
WIN API libraries, either by supplying a compatible linker or by other
means like converting tools for the MS object/library formats.

Also supplying good, fast, native implementations of the unix shell and
text utilities is a task to be solved. starting ls in a dos box and
waiting two to four seconds until the dpmi memory is allocated (these
2MB or something) is not fun.

Excuse for drifting off the topic a bit.
