Subject: Other Video Modes
Status: O



I have wrote code to support other video modes.  I wrote code to support
800x600x32768.  Given the page switching code, it is not hard to support any
other video mode that the video card supports.  

If someone suggests some basic modes to support and a graphics standard 
to follow and possible a package on Internet that implements this for some 
other system, I would be willing to write the code for limited support of 
other graphics modes. One limitation is that the modes supported 
must be supported by the video bios, otherwise things get complicated.
And the video card must be a dumb frame buffer card, not a 8514 or a TIGA
type card. The video card that I have supports just about every mode possible 
(even 1152x900x256) in the bios.  The graphics standard that I have 
used the most is the GKS standard.
