It is a shame that SciTech Display Doctor / UniVBE was never opene sourced. It probably contains a lot of wisdom and info to get all those special modes and probably would of been helpful for quirks and such that documentation lacks and only a concrete implementation would of found.
On a side note, the PowerVR-Series1[0] released their source code for their GPU but stated that
> As of right now, due to licensing concerns we have been unable to supply some libraries and headers provided by SciTech Software for "The Universal VESA VBE"
I wonder if there has been efforts by this community, such if anybody has a connection to SciTech / Kendall Bennett / or finding out if IBM had source code releasing rights for that part of the operating system when they made it the native driver to OS/2.
