Please Help! I am using Interactive Unix SYS V.3 and try to program a EGA card in graphics mode. Who knows, how to put the data into the Bitmap of the EGA card? Thanks in advance, Manfred Nikodem manfred@supgmbh.uucp

Read the man page for display(7); in particular, the KDSETMODE ioctl, which allows you to put the current console into graphics mode, and the KDMAPDISP ioctl which allows you to map the EGA's screen memory into your address space. -- Larry Campbell The Boston Software Works, Inc. campbell@bsw.com 120 Fulton Street wjh12!redsox!campbell Boston, MA 02146

The KDSETMODE KD_GRAPHICS call is a misnomer, as it doesn't actually put the display into a graphics mode. It just prepares things so that YOU can finish the job. Also, you'll need to refer to the vt(7) manual page, because you'll want to create a virtual terminal for the display. You'll need to program the EGA chipset into the proper mode, etc, yourself. You do this with the inline in[bw]() and out[bw]() functions and a reference manual for the EGA. There is a good book on the EGA available, but I can't find my copy, so I can't give you the title. Maybe somebody else has it? I think its a Microsoft Press book. It can be done, but the support that ISC provides is most basic. -- Rick Richardson | JetRoff "di"-troff to LaserJet Postprocessor|uunet!pcrat!dry2 PC Research,Inc.| Mail: uunet!pcrat!jetroff; For anon uucp do:|for Dhrystone 2 uunet!pcrat!rick| uucp jetroff!~jetuucp/file_list ~nuucp/. |submission forms. jetroff Wk2200-0300,Sa,Su ACU {2400,PEP} 12013898963 "" \d\r\d ogin: jetuucp

Got a question, I've been trying to install gnu 18.52 on my machine here and have been running into problems with a variable error. When I try to compile the temacs file, I get an error involving the Lisp_Subr variable. Anyone else have the same problem? It had something to do with not being added to the symbol table? Mitch
