Hello all. I'm new to Minix/PC and PC world in general, and I'm developing a low-level graphics library (or driver) for Minix. I'm looking for working source code which switches the Hercules card between graphics and text modes. I've found the file INIT.ASM on my Hercules diskette, but asld does not like some of the instructions in it -- "lodsb" and "rep stosw", among others. I changed "lodsb" to "lodb", and "rep stosw" to "rep" and "stow", not knowing exactly what I was doing, and the resulting code switches properly into text mode, but not graphics mode; the hi-res image is distorted into wavy lines. Also, upon return to text mode, the cursor is an underline, not the usual Minix block. If anyone could mail me, or post, working source code which controls the Hercules card, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. --- +--------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------+ | | Polygen Corporation | UUCP: | | Jerry J.
