Hi

I plan to write dos graphic program in mode 12 (640x480 16colors)
because that mode should work on all VGA cards.
Allegro do not support that resolution.
I tried GRX2.3 but its text function in that mode is too slow.
I made program writing 50 times 40 chars text and get only
17 fps (when drawing on memory bitmap and then bitblt to screen).
When drawing directly to screen I get only 7fps on my Celeron 400 with AGP.
On 386 notebook I get 1fps :(

Anyone can give me a documentation, tutorial or note how to write
in memory to draw on screen in mode 12 ?
(Like mode 13 320x200x256 use 0xa000000).

Many thanks for help,
Tihomir 9a4gl AT 9a0tcp DOT ampr DOT org
