M$ stranglehold aided by graphics card manufacturers

Anybody else frustrated with trying to directly program graphics chips in
custom standalone systems? A difficult enough situation with the required
register specifications - impossible when the chip manufacturer won't allow
one access to the relevant information for a card one has paid good money
for.

BTW - great list. I don't actually use squeak myself (am working on a
standalone color forth based system at the moment), but have found this list
a refreshing source of enlightened discussion from people 'racing forward
and looking through the windscreen, not the rear view mirror'.
