[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Enhanced VGA modes from C

creon@nas.nasa.gov (Creon Levit) (05/09/90)

I have this "VGA Wonder" card, that supposedly can run "super vga"
modes supporting 640 x 480 x 256 colors.  However, microsoft C (the
development environment I am using) has a graphics library call
_setvideoconfig() that only allows one initialize the "standard" IBM
graphics modes - i.e. I have a choice of 640 x 480 x 8 colors or 256
colors in lower resolution, but not the high res 256 color mode that
the board suppports.

My question is how can I use, or what software do I need in order to
use, these enhanced graphics modes from microsoft C.  

I'll summarize to the net.
