I meant plotting a pixel

At the right position.
Look what happens:

lol, is that a bug?

Well, when you ask grub setting a video mode it can't handle, it set's it to the highest resolution mode possible (wich is 1600x1200x32)

here is a list of the standard GRUB video modes:

Yeah I see, I set my mode to 1280x768x32 and it works fine.
By the way, how do you fill you init function. Do you save ebx to a special struct and then call init with those struct values or what?

Maybe you can use some kind of instant messaging application instead of using the forum as a chatroom?

That is a very good idea.

in my loader: in my file types.h, I have the multibootheader structure: and in my kernel, I have: Simple ^_^

It's easyier to post the code here than in a app like skype

push ebx ; push the multiboot header
push eax ; push the magic numba !
call kstart ; call kernel

in my file types.h, I have the multibootheader structure:

struct boot_info {

	uint32 mem_lower;
	uint32 mem_upper;
	uint32 boot_device;
	uint32 cmdline;

			uint8 framebuffer_green_mask_size;
			uint8 framebuffer_blue_field_position;
			uint8 framebuffer_blue_mask_size;
		};
	};
};

and in my kernel, I have:

Code: Select all

struct boot_info *boot_information;

void kstart(int eax_magic, struct boot_info *mboot){
	boot_information = mboot;
	if(eax_magic!=0x2BADB002)
    {
        panic(itoa(eax_magic));
    }
	else{
		init(mboot->framebuffer_addr, mboot->framebuffer_pitch, mboot->framebuffer_width, mboot->framebuffer_height, mboot->framebuffer_bpp, 1024, 768);
	}
	main();
}

Simple ^_^

Very similar structure, please lets use inbox instead of this topic.

Hi,


Please do some research before posting.

And do not post every 2 minutes.

This might be true. But you are annoying the rest of the forum users by doing so.

I also hope that you will learn that the easiest route is not necessarily the best.

thehardcoreOS, I see from your Makefile that you are not using a cross-compiler. If that's still the case, you might want to read these wiki articles:

Hey sortie, I am not using gcc cross-compiler because it refused to build, I was getting some strange errors while building it...
It is a real pain to make it work since you need to manually move and install all those binutils.
