Video

The video subsystem provides a widescreen, 800x480, 256 color display. This is accessible directly via a linear framebuffer, and by an internal character generator, which can quickly blit single characters or simple strings to a specific set of coordinates within the video memory. The display is updated automatically via a separate thread. The character generator is accessible via the PortIO interface.

Keyboard

Ngaro also provides a very basic keyboard driver. This is accessible via the PortIO interface.
