Maybe I needed to be a little more specific... ;) I have only worked in text mode, so I don't know how to set a video mode, unless it's the textmode() function... Sorry :-) textmode (int _mode) does change the screen mode but it seems to be a little limited in the modes it can set. The _set_screen_lines (int nlines) function offers more modes (80 columns with 25, 28, 35, 40, 43 or 50 rows), use gettextinfo (struct text_info *_r) to check whether it worked or not. All of the above are in . There are other text modes, the only way I know to use them is by using VESA, if you want some code to do so then email me direct and I'll send you some. Hope this helps.
