I know that may be a simplistic answer, but it's probably the truth. Try this simple app to see what modes you can support: #include <stdio.h> #include <vga.h> int main(void) { int i, j = 0, lastmode = vga_lastmodenumber(); vga_disabledriverreport(); vga_init(); printf("\n\n\n\n\n"); for (i = 0; i <= lastmode; i++) { if (vga_hasmode(i) > 0) { printf("Mode %d is supported.\n", i); } else { printf("Mode %d is NOT supported.\n", i); } if (j++ == 19) { printf("\nPress ENTER to continue...\n"); j = 0; getchar(); printf("\n\n\n\n\n"); } } for (i = 0; i < (22 - j); i++) { printf("\n"); } return 0; }
