In the VESA spec function 07h lets you switch the
beginning of the video mem to anywhere in the video cards memory space.

This would mean one could easily do double buffering, by writing to the
right area of memory, then changing the one address, and eliminating
annoying flicker.  Is this currently supported by FreeBSD?

I am also curious if 06h has been implemented, to allow pan and scrolling to
be done.

Cheers!

Jonathan
