RE: [Dev-C++] video cards

[Andres R. <lo...@ho...>]

Hello!

In modern Windowses (2k+) you can not access hardware directly.
In Win9x systems, old DOS tric's work though.
Better is if you learn OpenGL or DirectX or something similar
to prog graphics. I'd use OpenGL or SDL to make portable graphics
apps.
You don't have to know all "guts" of videocard, unless you want to
make device drivers and then you should know only card specific stuff.
