I don't know much about the technical aspects of writing a video driver - but
as an interesting aside...

I was speaking to a friend of mine at ATI who claims that they are using NT
development tools to develop their 32 bit OS/2 drivers. In particular, 
Microsoft's assembler.

I will be sure to send him a copy of the EMX gas! :-)
