Mr Rod Pemberton
thank you very much, the solution you gave me succeded
=A0
What I found out is that what was wrong was not the linear framebuffer I al=
so succesfully compiled (but my game still ran slow under DOSBox) but DOSBo=
x itself
Why?
If the problem was the video system, something like an archive load into me=
mory would be normally fast; under Windows XP (whose problem is that does n=
ot support sound) my program loads very fast from the disk the files that c=
ontains the graphics, also the game runs fast. Under DOSBox both are slow. =
So the problem is not either the protected mode bank switching nor the line=
ar framebuffer. It's something about DOSBox speed. Yes,=A0I tried=A0setting=
the CPU Cicles higher but it was the same.
=A0
Does someone have an idea about how to solve this??? If necessary, I can se=
nd my code, EXE, and all files needed
=A0
thank you

There are three colons that can follow the inline assembly.=A0 The first is
for the input.=A0 The second is for the output.=A0 GAS understands that
registers used for the inputs and outputs get "clobbered", i.e., destroyed,
changed, modified...=A0 The third is for the "clobber" list.=A0 That's for
registers which get modified that are in the assembly which GAS was not tol=
d
about in the input and output sections.=A0 E.g., if you used %ecx in the
assembly, but it was not an input or output register, it'd go into the
clobber list.

This assembly doesn't modify any registers.=A0 If it did, it would need to =
go
into the clobber list, if it isn't being used as an input or output.
>=A0 =A0 =A0 :=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0=A0=A0=
/* no outputs */
There are no outputs.
>=A0 =A0 =A0 : "r" (pm_bank_switcher),=A0 =A0=A0=A0/* function pointer in a=
ny register */
There are inputs.=A0 This will clobber a register, but GCC understands whic=
h
register it chose.
> "b" (0),=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0=A0=A0/* set %ebx to zero */
ebx is used.=A0 It shouldn't be in the clobber list below.
> "d" (bank_number)=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 /* bank number in %edx */
edx is usd.=A0 It shouldn't be in the clobber list below.
>=A0 =A0 =A0 : "%eax",=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0=A0=A0/* clobb=

I think you need to remove the ebx line.

I think you need to remove the edx line.

You may also need to remove one more register from the list, perhaps eax, s=
o
that GCC can pick a register for the "r" input.=A0 Try something like that.
