The problem is the following:
I get the VESA structure and all the "numeric info" (memory, version, etc) but
I can't read/print the oem string nor the VESA signature... I've readed the
discussion about DOS memory in the FAQ and I've look the sources of GRX2, but
the code is too confusing...
Other problem:
How can I move the string to an accesible memory zone? I've tested with
dosmemget, _far* and others, but it doesn't work... What I'm doing wrong?
I've found in the FAQ a discussion about speeding up the memory accessing with
near pointers, but I don't know how to use it... I think that I should put in
DS -1... and then, what?
Thank you for helping me....
