However, something has been bothering me for some time now: Univbe isn't free. As I am programming freeware myself, I can'y use the VESA 2 graphical modes in my programs without "forcing" the user of my programs to buy Univbe, wich is unacceptable to me. That is why I'm wondering if anybody is working on a free VESA 2 driver wich replaces Univbe? If there's no-one working on this, I might be interested in programming such a driver myself, with the intention of making it work with Allegro. (When i find some time :|) The question is then: where can I find the required documentation (without having to pay tons of money to the VESA organisation)? Finally I want to apologise for this being slightly off-topic. Thanks in advance. Bjorn De Meyer.
