Hi !

I'm currently writing a program in which the display is in VESA 1.2 SVGA
640 x 480 x 256 colors.

I have the all the codes working and I want to implement mouse
functionality into it. The problem is that (surprise , surprise ) the
mouse driver doesn't support SVGA .

Tried coded it myself but failed miserably ...

I got the Allegro library ... but can the mouse routines be used in my
own program since I'm ONLY using the mouse routines and not other
functions like Allegro's own VESA libary ? I tried putting in the codes
found in ex6.c in Allegro's examples directory but my program crashed .

Lastly , does anyone know of any tutorials on programming the mouse in
SVGA mode ?? I had taken a look in Allegro's mouse codes but (due to my
inexperience in mouse programming) I can't understand them...

Thanks in advance ,
Kean
