[Dev-C++] Wow... guru?

[Stein N. <tem...@of...>]

Hi again!

I've just found, by mistake, that
_AX = 0xEB
geninterrupt(0x10);
seems to be getting me into mode 320x240x256!!
But the really wierd about it, is that when I run my program on another 
machine, it goes crazy and sets up in some odd 800x600 textmode, or something. 
Is this explainable?
How DO i get into 320x240x256 in a safe way?

I really would apreciate, any help!!
Thanks!! :)

It seems that you are invoking BIOS interrupts for controlling the video. I guess
you may want to search for a list of BIOS functions in the web before you
continue.
I know that this list is somewhere on the net but I do not have the URL.

I would suggest that you use one the standard libraries for controlling your
hardware safely. Some information about video can be found on the Allegro game
programmers web-site. http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/ Another nice library
is sdl. http://www.sdllib.org/ ( I personally use the Allegro library)

Why is this particular video mode so important for you? Its resolution seems to
low for any new application?
