I'm creating a program which uses VESA 1 to go to higer resolutions, and I've had no trouble getting information about the modes available and whatnot. What I can't get to work at all is the setmode function (02h), which is constantly returning 02h in register AH. This happens despite the mode I try to switch to. I have tried the same modes using the Allegro library and these have worked. I have downloaded Dark Angel's VESA tutorial and the examples there do not work (same problem I am having). I am sure this problem is to do with a lack of initialization or something.. my computer is using VESA 1.2 I'd really appreciate any ideas you have. Thanks. Xander.
