Paradise driver implementation notes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a software-only driver for Paradise chipsets, based on the native
|
|
Paradise driver from old versions of the Allegro library. It only
|
|
supports 256 color modes, and has no support for linear framebuffers or
|
|
accelerated drawing. As such it is useful primarily because it is faster
|
|
than the VESA 1.x bank switching mechanism, and as a workaround for the
|
|
many bugs in common VESA driver implementations.
|
|
|
|
This code is not portable to any platforms other than DOS+DPMI, because
|
|
it uses BIOS calls to set the initial video mode.
|
|
|
|
Any volunteers to add hardware accelerator support? That would be very
|
|
welcome if you want to do it :-)
