actually what i am doing is interupting the thing and tellin it to go
into the mode i specify like this:

... hope i didnt delete it ;)

main()
{
union REGS regs;

/* accept Mode number in hex */
sscanf(argv[1], "%x", &mode);
regs.x.ax = 0x4F02; /* change display mode */
regs.x.bx = 117; /* three-digit mode number */
int86(0x10, &regs, &regs); /* Call the BIOS (int10) */

game(); /*This is where the game loads*/

regs.h.al = 3; /* return to Mode 3 */
int86(0x10, &regs, &regs);
return;
}


hope that helps i just tried what they said on djgpps site and it
didnt do anything but change resolution i need to print text and this
does work.

Thanks
