Hi, all.

Can someone out there please help me out with my problem ?
At the moment, I'm using DJGPP with Allegro 2 for a simple 3D graphics 
engine. Basically, a scene is created and then rendered to screen. The 
problem is that I am using only 256 colour modes (320x200 and 640x480) 
for displaying the objects in the scene. Question is - how can I use the 
Hi- and True colour modes available for rendering the scene ?

My graphics card supports VESA 2 standard - will this help ? If you can 
help me, or suggest some links to try, it will be greatly appreciated.

Either post a reply in this newsgroup or drop me an e-mail on 
cc505870 AT ntu DOT ac DOT uk

TIA,
Regards

Andy
