More Than 80x25 Text Mode

Post by Nathan »

Hello,
I've already tried to play with Graphic Mode(800x600), but I saw that it's a dangerous area. To do a simple command-line, you need to plot pixel-by-pixel, like if you was manipulating a image, also you can't even try to print things on the screen, that you are going to see some strange things happening to your video(like some strange colored dots). Anyway, what I want to know, is if there is any way to have text-mode on a resolution that is greater than 80x25.

Best Regards,
Nathan Paulino Campos

Once again, if you had bothered to search the wiki at all, you'd have found your answer.

I'm using 80x30 text mode (720x480) with standard vga compartible driver.
If you have seen bad English in my words, tell me what's wrong, please.

Dangerous only to those who haven't got a clue.

That's why it's called graphics mode, you see.
also you can't even try to print things on the screen, that you are going to see some strange things happening to your video(like some strange colored dots).
You mean that, in graphics mode, you copy something like "Nathan's CoolOS v10.5" directly into video memory, and that doesn't display "Nathan's CoolOS v10.5" on the screen? How odd! I'd complain to your graphics card manufacturer.
Anyway, what I want to know, is if there is any way to have text-mode on a resolution that is greater than 80x25.
As quok already mentioned, you seem to have a very weak Google-fu.
