Line 90:
For example, is X11 considered a part of the operating system? Typically not. However, some X11 builds do have kernel-reserved instructions in their code so technically those are part of the runtime OS. The statement reads:<br />
<i>Modern operating systems such as Linux and Windows do not usually bother with display modes and attempt to manipulate the hardware directly through device drivers.</i><br />
This has a few issues - sure, device drivers could be vendor-supplied (as such, they effectively abstract the FB wrt the OS) but the OS, just as any other program still has to track some informations. Maybe "do not usually bother" is a bit stretching it but it is more or less ok. D3D9 for example will happily "destroy" framebuffers and other resources in various scenarios so it has notion of a FB and it could be considered part of the OS. <br />''[[User:MaxDZ8|<
