We have been trying unsuccessfully to address the video memory
on a VGA card directly. (No portability flames please) We are using
Trident chips in mode 0x5D, 640 x 480, 256 colors. This should
require 5, 64K pages mapped into the address space starting at 0xA000:0.
The one book we read said that the page swap register was at IO address
0x03c5, when 0x03c4 was set to 2. Is this correct?? How hardware dependant
is this technique?? Anybody out there done this yet?? How about a brief
code example in Turbo C or Turbo Pascal? Thanks in advance!
