I have setup a area of graphics memory using UniVBE and the VBE 2.0 calls
which I have mapped to a segment using __djgpp_allocate_LDT_descriptors.
The problem is, whenever I try to copy memory to this new selector using
the segment returned from the call, I get either a protection fault (if it
compiles), or an error at compile time in my code. The error at compile
time has something like
	unexpected letter after %-...

Can anybody help me with this??? 

All I need (even code!!! :) is to know how to do, say a rep movsl, from
my malloc'd memory, to the graphics memory.

Any help appreciated here, cause I have only been using djgpp for about 4
days...

Leathal.
