For those of you looking for a video driver interface to write for
or an SVGA driver for DesqView, you lose.  I contacted QOS a few weeks
ago for exactly this information.  If they don't provide a video
driver for your card with DV, then there isn't a driver and you can't
write one.  The ones they do provide are hooked pretty tightly to
DV internals, according to the tech I spoke with.  You'll have to wait
for DesqView/X for a custom video driver interface.
However, if anyone has information to the contrary, I'd definitely
like to hear about it....
