I want to write a program that allows me to write routines which need not worry about bank switching in VESA video modes. The program would allocate 1024Kb of linear memory that would be used to acces video memory. 64Kb of that memory would point to 64Kb video memory window at 0xA0000. If other parts of that 1024Kb were accessed the program would generate an exception and switch video memory bank. Can you give me pointers to source code and documents? -- Vesa Norrman vnorrman AT cc DOT hut DOT fi
