Ho Netland,

I've recently purchased Coherent, a U*NX ver 7 clone for the
PC.  Currently I would like to write a device driver for my
VGA/SVGA card, that will allow me to use the graphic modes of
the card and I don't know where to begin.  I've written low
level VGA/SVGA code for DOS, what I would like to know is the
kind of routines one implements, under a U*NX system.

Any help welcome,
kenny.
