- Currently, there isn't a dedicated newsgroup, although discussion on
- such an issue has happened.

- > 2. Problems with Trident 8900 chipset and djgpp ?
-
- I've gone back and forth with the Trident drivers. No one driver
- works for everyone, so I stopped trying. You've got the source; you
- can make it work for you.

- > 3. Mouse support (non libgr.a)? 1 svga bank only ok ?
-
- Most mouse drivers won't understand SVGA graphics modes, so you need
- to use the same method that the libgr.a mouse routines use.
-
- > 4. Interrupt routines ?
-
- Only through go32 or TSRs.
-
- > 5. 386 assembly & bios
-
- It's Motorola format. I think there's documentation on
- gatekeeper.dec.com for gas, but I figured it out from the gas sources
- and "gcc -S".
