Re: off topic - Assembler using GCC
INT 10h is the video BIOS - I want to set the video mode directly.
By using INT 10h I don't have to learn and programme the card registers -
the BIOS takes care of this.
Why is the video bios not available from protected mode ?
Does this mean that making superfast graphics (as in DOS "demo's") is out
of the question ?
