Problem with VGA 16 palette
Posted: Mon Mar 18, 2002 6:03 am
I have a strange problem with the VGA palette
When i want to change the color , not all the new values are accepted. This is a sample code to reproduce the problem. The color pointed by the arrow should be white. You can use nasm to assemble the progam. The problem comes with vmware, bochs and real boot. This code is a part of my loader.
Note : i use direct setting of vga register , but when i use INT the problem comes to.
Ps : sorry for my bad english , i'm french
