How can I, without using anything DOS'ish, (BIOS calls or memory reads only), determine the Video Subsystem that is in place? I have a code fragment from "USER INTERFACES IN C" [Mark Goodwin] that detects MDA, CGA, and EGA/VGA. I would like to go further, and be able to break the EGA/VGA down into EGA or VGA, and also would like to be able to detect any others like SVGA. Any help in this is greatly appreciated. Source code, Pseudocode, Smoke signals all accepted. Thanks in Advance Ed Felton -- Ed Felton PC Diagnostics Guy _H_a_v_e_ _._s_i_g_,_ _w_i_l_l_ _t_r_a_v_e_l_. SCI Systems Inc.
