Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me.  I'm new to graphics programming in dos,
and seem to be
having problems selecting a higher video mode than 13h.
      I'm not really sure of the technical terms as I'm just learning about the
various video modes
that you can get, but I believe it be VESA modes that I can't obtain.  I'm not
really too sure about
where to obtain a comprehsive reference on the problem. I downloaded a demo
(from where I can't
remember that should run in VESA but it just crashes the machine (it compiled
with no errors), the
screen top and bottoms come down a bit and that's it.
      I running DJGPP/RHIDE under Win95 and have a P133 and a Trio64V+ video
card. I'm not actually using the GRX library at the moment...
      I believe that the make of the video card maybe the problem, and that
there may
be a way roundit.
      If anyone could shed anylight on the situation.(with possible some
reference URLs)
I really would be extremely grateful caus 320*200 is quite a poor resolution to
be working with
and I want to do a graphicly based demo.
      (Just looked at a FAQ, it mentioned that you maybe able to use a VESA
emulator - UNIVIBE, is this the solution, what do  I need?)

      OK, many thanks in advance, (Your welcome to a copy of whatever I do,
                          although that may not be saying much at 
                          the moment)
Ian.
