I got super frusterated with this ... i heres my simple line that works
for everyone else but not me ...


unsigned char* vidmem;

vidmem=(unsigned char*) (vbeinfo.physbaseptr+__djgpp_conventional_base);

vbeinfo is a structure with all the vbe info .. previously retrived, i
am sure of the correct data because i can do a get info command and
retrive all the right values from it ..

whenever i try doing vidmem[x+y*xlen] = color; it crashes on me error
code 255 ..
im not sure what im doing wrong anymore .. iv looked at other code that
iv written eirlier, and i cant see any differences :( iv looked at other
peoples code, and still no differences ... i am loading
__djgpp_nearptr_enable(); and ending with __djgpp_nearptr_disable(); ...
if you have any ideas i would love to hear em :)
