Hi everybody,
	
I'm trying to switch video mode with BIOS int 0x10 using DPMI.

I wrote following simple program:

#include <conio.h>
#include <dpmi.h>

int main(void)
{
  __dpmi_regs regs;
  regs.x.ax = 0x0013;
  _dpmi_int(0x10, &regs);
  getch();
  regs.x.ax = 0x0003;
  _dpmi_int(0x10, &regs);
  return 0;
};

But it doesn't work: on first _dpmi_int call I get:

Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV
General Protection Fault at eip=0000002d
eax=00000000 ebx=00052340 ecx=00000000 edx=00000003

gs: sel=020f  base=00000000  limit=ffffffff
ss: sel=01ff  base=833ff000  limit=0005ffff

Call frame traceback EIPs:
  0x0000002d
  0x00001b06

I can easy switch to mode 0x13 using any real mode compiler.
I tried runing this program under Windows98 and plain DOS
Please say, what I'm doing wrong?
