Hi All,
I've a P5 100MHz with a Diamond Stealth card with 2Mb.
It is capable of 800x600x24bits or 1024x768x16bits (under windows, for example).
It seems to me that I've tried all the drivers but I can't obtain 
16 bits depth in any resolution. At best I obtain 256 colors.
This is a pity. (Since I love the fact that djgpp is free and flat.)
Does anybody know if (and how) is it possible to go at 
 800x600x24bits resolution and put one pixel on the screen ?
(Yes, I don't need great graphic instructions. Once I understand how to go
in graphics, how return in text, and how to put a 24-bit pixel, I can work on it
by myself).

Suggestions are wellcome
Thanks.
Giovanni.
