Hello again my dear newsgroup...

I might actually be able to crack this one in the next couple off
minutes,
but since I've gotten really fast respnonse before I will post this one.

The problem seems to be accessing locked memory, or I have missed
something really trivial. I wrote a mouse handler according to the FAQ
and it works perfectly. The only problem is that I can't get the correct

values from my MOUSE struct. In the mouse handler function (int) it
works as it should, but i created i MOUSE_getX() function to read the
X pos outside the handler. It looks like this:

word MOUSE_getX(void)
{
    __asm__("cli");
    return (mouse.x);
    __asm__("sti");
}

but it wont return nothing but zero.. ...is this because the mouse
struct
is locked, and can only be accessed by the handler?

Question2: Does locked memory go inte conventional memory?
