 tried to make a selector like this:
and it dosen't work? And how do I access it am I correct?

void make_selector(void) {
//video_selector is a global short
  video_selector = __dpmi_allocate_ldt_descriptors(1);
  __dpmi_set_segment_base_address(video_selector, linear_address);
  __dpmi_set_segment_limit(video_selector, 2000000L);   /* 2 Megs */

}

For accessing it:
_farpokeb(video_selector, (int)rand()%639 * Max_X + (int)rand()%479,
(char)rand()%255);

An answer would be apprecieated.
