This works, great! Hm, just looked at the installation guide and it
also says device:hd0sx... Don't know why I got it wrong. :/
Now that everything is working great so far, what could I do?
What is the latest on something like a framebuffer device? I mean
something like a translator that applications can talk to instead of accessing the
hardware directly. Like /dev/fb in Linux. Or is it too early to think
about something like that? I would like to do a little research on
this to get some experience. So far I only got the basic idea though.
:> The idea seems to be to use memory mapping and a translator so
applications can just write to this translator to access the video
memory. The kernel would than directly talk to the
hardware, for example through a VESA driver. Is that correct?
