I would like to buy a book about VGA (and SVGA) programming (at registers level). I
have seen a lot of them in my favourite bookstore. As I have no time to read all of
them, I would like to know if there is a champion in this category ?
Thanks in advance
Please reply directly by mail. I will summarize on the net.

I recently bought a video programming book called.. "Programmers guide to PC and PS/2 VIDEO SYSTEMS. The book has alot of detail and many fine assembly and C source code. It reads real easy and I reccomend it. By the way its a really crazy GREEN color on the book shelf. Rod Ellison

This book also has lots of errors in it, at least in the code listings. There are some blatant things wrong with some of the assembly listings - I think it mainly had to do with the line-draw and bit-blitting routines for the VGA/EGA. While it's maily a pretty good reference, be careful about just typing in the code & expecting it to work. Jay Kubicky
