So we simply need to add some VESA Bios Extension routine in a basic gfx
library (without having to mess with CBGRX) and the toy will be back again,
is this right?
A question about that: in VBE paging can be done usign both interrupt and
a far procedure call (an interrupt gives you the address to call).
Are there any tourble calling such a thing from DPMI?
