Re: graphics in pmode



Oscoder ,
Dirk has the right pointer ,get the vesa docs.
This can be super simple or grossly complicated,
There are vesa protected mode calls ,but the card
must support vesa 3.x ,if you simply want a linear
frame like 640x480 or 800x600 16 color mode ,
you can set the registers yourself. Go to your
public library and get 'PC Intern' by abacus books.
There is a good section on vga registers ,should
not be hard. If you want an extended mode ,better
find an assembly graphics library online. Googleing
seems to turn up several.
Hope this helps ,
