| Can someone recommend a *good* book on programming the VGA? I have seen
| some books (e.g., by Peter Norton) on programming the PS/2 that make
| passing mention of the VGA, but there is very little detail.  From what
| I can see based on the status program that came with the board, it
| appears to have a very large number of modes and options. 
| 
| Any recommendations?

There is a very good one from Addison-Wesley.  Sorry, I don't remember the
exact title or author, but you should be able to find it at any decent
technical bookstore.  Mail me if you'd like the specific title and I'll dig it
up.
