    Thumbs up vga...

    apuschumann,

    -> give me a idea or even the code to setup the VGA color for
    -> my program.

    u have to access directly to the vga memory cell.
    it depends upon your vga card.
    so, first detect your vga and then try to access that part.

    good luck.
    thanx...
    take care...

    Code:
    void setMode ( unsigned char mode )
    {
      union REGS uregs;
      uregs.h.ah = 0x00;
      ruegs.h.al = mode;
      int86 ( 0x10, &uregs, &uregs );
    }
    .
    .
    .
    setMode ( 0x13 );
    Will it work? It depends on your system.
