@foone Borland Pascal / C++ BGI driver stack methods also went through Bios. I was digging in that environment of late and found out that
a) original support for graphics in BP7 was ending at VESA 16 colour driver (so 1024x768 but 16 colours), and
b) some fanatic redid VESA drivers for newer cards, including fixing mouse cursor at higher res, and after a period of selling this package released it free for the people to use.
So technically I could write now a DOS program operating in high res modes with 24bit colour.
Makes me want to de-dust some skills, really.
