[comp.graphics.visualization] Super VGA

tc1n+@andrew.cmu.edu (Todd Lawrence Cignetti) (05/24/91)

   I'm working on a project for the PC in MS C 6.0.  It is a graphics display
program for Super VGA (Tseng and Genoa chipsets).  Does anyone know how to make
the Microsoft VGA routines for the mouse and for the display work in SVGA mode?

*any* clue would be helpful...
Thanks,

We've been using Microsoft C 6.0 with a real IBM 8514.  There
aren't any routes through MS C to the 8514 microcode; we just used
the 8514 software that comes with it.  Haven't got the mouse
going on the 8514 yet, but as I don't use one, not a problem!

Turbo C has the 8514 support built-in, just as an aside.

So does Zortech C/C++, as well as some Super VGA and TIGA support.  Also
the mouse support is built into the graphic library.
