  13. I want to learn about graphics programming on the PC. So I am posting 
  14. this request in the hope that people can recommend some good resources
  15. (reference books, and into books) on this topic. 
  16.  
  17. I need info on:
  18.  
  19. Register/assembly level controls for graphics cards.
  20. How to write device drivers for cards.
  21. The practical differences btw one resolution and another. 
  22. The practical differences btw one card or chip-set and another.
  23.  
  24. I have no interest in CGA and EGA. So I want to focus on VGA and higher
  25. resolutions, ie XGA, SVGA, etc.
  26.  
  27. Thanks in advance, and please note that I am looking for _PC_ specific
  28. information and not general graphics algorithms.
