I have code which handles the mouse at G800x600x64K on my web site, and it will work great under DOS/svgalib as soon as I have a mouse library to replace the Linux one. Under Linux, jlib is a higher level interface for svgalib, AFAIK. Other than that, I know of no other libraries. Anything VESA will not work under Linux. > If anyone could please write a small code fragment just showing mouse > handling at hi-res could you please email it to me. > Look at my web site: http://wwwbacc.ift.ulaval.ca/~moisemih Mihai P.S.: NO, IT WON'T! vesa is closely tied to the i386 architecture.
