I wonder if the clock would BSOD itself after running for x years 🙂 You should hook it up on some ups and keep it running forever.

In this mode does it pull the CPU in 100% draining the most power or is it near to idle?

In reply to ender. Interesting. Source code for VBEMP?

In reply to Antoni Sawicki. BTW, the VBEMP driver manages to display some colours on the blue boot screen.

In reply to neozeed. Yes this is a possible solution, but at least for NT4 I wanted to use HAL functions specifically. Michal Necasek promised to do a PC boot version of aclock so he should be able to make the VGA routines usable in the driver ;)

In reply to ender. This is correct. This is called progress! But leaving the sarcasm aside, probably no one has ever used these functions except aclock so they were um made redundant.

In reply to ender.

figures, that is “progress” for you, always breaking stuff….. I guess the “solution” is to hook a VGA/VESA driver into the…. driver, and drive the screen directly.

Looks like the graphical boot screen in newer Windows versions doesn't support these functions anymore (same thing happens in Windows 2000, XP, XP x64 and 7).
