I am told by Bruce Evans that there used to be a VGA graphics driver which was ftp'able at cs.hut.fi, as I am unable to contact this site I cannot confirm this - let alone get hold of the code. Can anyone let me know if this driver is still about, and if possible mail me the code, or alternatively point me at another archive site where the driver has been saved? I'd be very grateful!

The right machine is not available now for this service. So I put the files in this machine, cs.hut.fi (sauna.hut.fi) available with anonymous ftp in directory pub/minix. There are also a couple of other packages of symbolic links implementations. All of them (also VGA driver) are for Minix version *1.3* but it should should be possible to upgrade them for version 1.5. The packages are created as programming exercises in Operating Systems course so unfortunately not all the documents are available as files and some of them are in finnish :-( hja

I wnat it too. And not only me but all so everyon who doesn't have Graphics driver want it, perhaps I think. So could anyone post this News Group comp.os.minix.
