> 1. Where is the best place to ask djgpp questions ?

There is a mailing list. To subscribe to the djgpp mailing list, send
mail:

  % mail listserv@sun.soe.clarkson.edu
  Subject:
  add djgpp
  ^D

If you don't get an auto-reply, send mail to
djgpp-request@sun.soe.clarkson.edu.  Regular submissions should go to
djgpp@sun.soe.clarkson.edu.  For listserv help, send a "help" message
to listserv.  There is also a djgpp-announce list.

Currently, there isn't a dedicated newsgroup, although discussion on
such an issue has happened.

> 2. Problems with Trident 8900 chipset and djgpp ?

I've gone back and forth with the Trident drivers.  No one driver
works for everyone, so I stopped trying.  You've got the source; you
can make it work for you.

> 3. Mouse support (non libgr.a)? 1 svga bank only ok ?

Most mouse drivers won't understand SVGA graphics modes, so you need
to use the same method that the libgr.a mouse routines use.

> 4. Interrupt routines ?

Only through go32 or TSRs.

> 5. 386 assembly & bios

It's Motorola format.  I think there's documentation on
gatekeeper.dec.com for gas, but I figured it out from the gas sources
and "gcc -S".
