The software exists and is called "Starbase Driver Development Guide".
See the directory /usr/lib/starbase/sddg for some of the files and
contact HP to buy the rest (Starbase driver template files written
in C!).  Maybe you will get it for free (?).

With this development package you can write Starbase drivers for *any*
graphics input/output device.  We used it on our 9000/540 to write
drivers for Tek 401x, GraphOn 250 and Pericom graphics terminals.
