[Oberon] Relationship of Displays.Display to other Display modules.

[peasthope at shaw.ca]

Hi,

Any correction or elaboration of these statements is welcome. 
My question is at the end.

Drivers for specific display adapters are in modules 
<hardware>.Diplay.Mod such as S3Trio.Display.Mod.

Empty.Display.Mod is a template to serve as the basis for writing 
a new driver.

Display3.Mod implements display primitives used in Gadgets.

Displays.Display.Mod imports Diplays under the name AosDisplays. 
Nevertheless, the comment is "Native Oberon display ...". (?)

Displays.Display.Mod and <hardware>.Display.Mod all have "MODULE Display".

So how does Displays.Display.Mod relate to the <hardware> modules? 
If a computer is using S3Trio.Display.Obj, for example, what is 
the role of Displays.Display.Obj, if any?

Thanks,                   ... Peter E.
