I'm totaly new to protected mode and was trying to work through the
example code from the DJGFX doc but keep getting GPF's. I think the
problem is with the code for copy_buffer2:
    
    void copy_buffer2(void)
    {
        movedata( _my_ds(), doublebuffer,
                  our_global_selector, videoptr,
                  width*height );
    }

doublebuffer == malloc(width*height)
videoptr ==     (unsigned char *)0x0 // I tried the linear_address too

I set up our_global_selector thusly:
        
    short our_global_selector = __dpmi_allocate_ldt_descriptors(1);
    __dpmi_set_segment_base_address( our_global_selector,
                                     linear_address);
    
What needs to change ? What am I doing wrong ?


Thanks,
