Sure we will help. eVb just needs to commit his work first. I for one 
promise I'll look at the issues he's having.

Regards,
Kamil

Good evening,

Even past EngCreateBitmap fix in trunk, VGA driver I wrote still having many 
problems drawing, most with text output and colors. Example, desktop icon 
appear monochrome, not color. But Paint palette has 16 colors. When draw in 
Paint, white background become black! And after released mouse, deletes any 
existing line, shape, ... drawn!

I am not having experience with Win32K system too much, and Richard said too 
much dependency and regression can happen if touched. Also, other problem 
exist with driver loading: multiple display driver not supported if previous 
driver mode set fail. Timo Kreuzer said "yarotws" has fix for this, but 
don't want to touch Win32k...

So, would like to ask help with getting VGA driver working. I soon commit to 
trunk, and can be used with new vga/vbe miniport. Just need to edit registry 
entries to load it.

Thank you!
