Yes, most likely this type of direct hardware access is not allowed. I know for sure it is not allowed in Windows, and I presume that it essentially must be the case for all OSes which support windowing.

If that is the case, then your only option is to switch platforms, or settle for doing just the drawing part of rasterization (I presume you're doing this to make a software rasterizer?) into a buffer that can be blitted to a window in the OS. The actual drawing is the more interesting part of the equation anyhow. I do this on Windows with a DIBSection, but I don't know what the Linux equivalent is.

I use a bootloader asm program and a want improve the graphics.

for a bootloader it should be fine, as long as it runs before the OS (bootloaders tend to do that), (any OS running in protected mode will prevent user applications from accessing the hardware directly).

Is just a test for learning asm .
I readed long time ago about asm with win and dos .
I try to design my boot loader and seam to be some problems .
Yes i use qemu to test it ( see qemu -fda /dev/sdb )
Basically i need a mini os with this features :
- run python and opengl module .
- run vi
- running on usb stick .
- nothing more software .
So many linux os have python and vi but also have xorg and gnome ...
On Win is portable python and winvi .
Linux seam to be ok , in this case , but if i want use python i need more ...
I saw boot cd with graphics interface (like northon style)
I search on the internet and i don't found anything about direct hardware.
If i learn about direct hardware i think is possible to use shaders language with my
FX5200.
It is theoretically possible , but how ... This is the big question .
I'm new in this , but i hope is no hard to do this .
I you have some suggestion to help me , it's ok.
Thank you all .
Regards .
