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 Oon DOT Lin AT jcu DOT edu DOT au http://lionfish.jcu.edu.au/~sci-okl BTW: Why does my emails to the news group often just dissapears ?? The first time when I send it , I can see it posted there but some time later when I reopened it , it just dissapears ?? This had happened a few times...
