I want to learn about graphics programming on the PC. So I am posting 
this request in the hope that people can recommend some good resources
(reference books, and into books) on this topic. 

I need info on:

Register/assembly level controls for graphics cards.
How to write device drivers for cards.
The practical differences btw one resolution and another. 
The practical differences btw one card or chip-set and another.

I have no interest in CGA and EGA. So I want to focus on VGA and higher
resolutions, ie XGA, SVGA, etc.

Thanks in advance, and please note that I am looking for _PC_ specific
information and not general graphics algorithms.
