Hi all!
Anybody have an idea how to directly access the GFX card, to draw on it?
 
as in using directX???

you will need either directx7 or 8 or 9 software development kit... all free downloads from the microsoft site(but they are big downloads) theres plenty of tutorials that come with it as well..

Open up the case of your computer. Look at and remove the card which your monitor is plugged into. Use markers as they work better than pens for drawing on Chips and the circuit boards.

Sorry couldn't resist.
 
SemperFi,

Would that be Etch Resist? [smile]

LoL...

I like SemperFi's Answer...

That is what I feel like doing sometimes as opposed to What is actually being asked how to do...

idinkin,
By the time you go through all the Direct-X crap...
You'll wish you had followed SemperFi's few easy steps...
