Ok, folks, I need help. I've got a system where I'm switching back and
forth between graphics mode, 80x25, 80x43, and 40x25. I have yet to
find a completely reliable way of changing from each of these to any of the
others. Using MSC's _setvideomode doesn't hack it, because they don't
support 43/50 line mode.
Here's my code (condensed):
For 80 by 25 mode, I've tried both of the following. This generally seems
to work, but not always.
regs.x.ax = 0x0003; Technique 1
int86( 0x10, ®s, ®s );
_setvideomode( _DEFAULTMODE ); Technique 2
_setvideomode( _TEXTC80 );
For 40 by 25 mode. It reliably switches to 40 columns, but not to 25 lines.
_setvideomode( _DEFAULTMODE );
_setvideomode( _TEXTC40 );
For 80 by 43 mode. This works.
set_25_lines();
regs.x.ax = 0x0300; /* Ask about the cursor */
regs.h.bh = 0;
int86( 0x10, ®s, ®s );
regs.x.ax = 0x1112; /* Load ROM 8x8 double-dot font */
regs.h.bl = 0; /* Page zero */
int86( 0x10, ®s, ®s );
Graphics mode (EGA 640 by 350, 16 colours)
regs.x.ax = 0x0010; This doesn't work
int86( 0x10, ®s, ®s );
_setvideomode( _ERESCOLOR ); This does.
Has anybody got code that does this that really works?

It's easy to adapt to the other modes if you know the mode numbers. It's assembly code for stand alone .com files (included) you should be able to easily adapt it to be callable from your 'C' program... ----- uuencoded self extracting archive ----- begin 644 video.com MZV 7 2 D3$AA<F,G<R!31E@@,2XQ,F)3("AC*5EO<VAI(#$Y.#D-"@HD) $$ M#!@P3W9E<G=R:71E("1;62].72 D365M;W)Y)%=R:71E)$AE861E<B1#4D,@ M17)R;W(-"B3\O !NP8!Z%0"C,@N P8" 8[8CL %5@(N.P8" '8&NT(!Z5P!
