hey there....
i am using this code to access the "monochrome screen address" directly...
Code:
int main()
{
char* screen;
char ch;
screen = 0xb0000000; // this is where an error occurs...
ch = 'a';
*screen = ch; // simply supposed to print (a) to the
//screen
return 0;
}
the problem is in assigning directly a video buffer to (screen) variable...???
any suggestions???

as you could most likly guess, i don't know the answer. but my attention goes to the pointer. can you do that?
yes you can, i just think it doesn't let me assign the value in hexadecimal....
Is it compile time or run time? If run time, it might be that your OS doesn't let you do it. I am not too sure about the details of Protected Mode so I am not completely sure.
it is a compile time error and it states:
............NONPORTABLE POINTER CONVERSION....
hmmmmmm...?
