By the way, I have never do low level programming and there was a
very interesting tutorial on writing haiku drivers but the tutorial
was never finished. Does anyone knows what happened to the writer?

Yes, it was an interesting reading but unfortunately the Chapter 6 (Writing the Driver) was never finished
I've seen this document in numerous places, for years, & always hoped that it would be finished by those with the knowledge to do so. Sadly, it never happened. This could have ended up being the most important driver document for BeOS/Haiku. It's missing far more than just chapter 6. Maybe developers will drift in & flesh it out more as time goes own 7 with the proper motivation. It might be beneficial to ping past video driver writers & ask them to take a few moments of their time to contribute to the document. The worst that could happen is that they say 'no'. But, if they say 'yes'...
