|    Testing all video mode - but which ones     |
|    13 Feb 24 08:57:32    |
      From: address@nospicedham.is.invalid              Hello all,              I've got a small program going thru all video-modi by looping AL from 80       upto FF, calling INT 10, AH=00.              I would like to find out which of those modi are graphical. Ralf Browns       memory list shows 0040:0065 to hold some bits regarding the current video       mode. In my case the lower two bits are of interrest              Mode 03, text, shows the value 01. Alas, mode 0D, graphics, also shows 01.       In fact, only modi 4 thru 6 show a 02 there, and modi 0 and 01 show a 00.       Al others show 01.              And I'm pretty sure there are few other graphics modi above mode 06 ...              tl;dr:       How do I find out if a certain mode is graphics ?              Secondary question : if the lower two bits of 0040:0065 are *not* the       current video-modes graphics and textmode capablities, what do they signify       instead ?              Regards,       Rudy Wieser              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
