Subject: Re: VESA video modes
 
Sorry to add to this already large thread. But could someone list the Vesa
modes for me?
I would like to know how to get into 800*600*256 or 640*480*256.
I understand that making video pages and putting pixels to screen is
difficult in these modes.
Would anyone care to enlighten me?
To POKE a pixel to screen, I normally use:
 
DEF SEG=$HA000
POKE Y*320+X, ColorToPoke
DEF SEG
 
This works in mode 13, will it work in the high res modes?
 
Thanks for any help.
