    Fetch a sample kernel from github which has vbe support with font rendering or something and test it on your computers hardware. If it works, then your code is wrong. Feel free to use my kernel Validity if you want

    >"Ghost is a hobby operating system for the Intel x86 platform. The project is licensed as GPLv3. It was started as a research project to learn more about low-level software programming and computer internals. The sources are available on GitHub (https://github.com/maxdev1/ghost).

    Features

    The kernel and the userspace applications are written from scratch in C++ and Assembly (and some C). It is not based on any existing kernel.

    There is a POSIX.1 compatibility layer to simplify porting some software to the system.

    o Micro-kernel

    o Symmetric multi-processing

    o Patched GCC (OS specific toolchain)

    o IPC (pipes, signals, messages, shared memory)

    o ELF executable & shared library support

    o libc, self-made

    o libghostapi, kernel API library

    o libghostuser, simplified file I/O, creating UIs etc.

    o libstdc++ port

    o VESA video driver

    o Window server (GUI with homemade toolkit)

    o PS/2 keyboard & mouse driver

    o Userspace filesystem driver support

    o Serial COM1 debug interface

    o Virtual 8086 for BIOS calls

    o Copy-on-write implementation, fork()
