JB>FP> VESA 2.0 in protected mode. Now, i am not sure that it is possible.
JB>FP> i used unit NewFrontier (v 6.0) with BP7 but the function 800 of DPMI
JB>FP> is not supported by the borland implementation.
JB>FP> i don't know how to create a selector with physical address base of
JB>FP> F8000000 and a size of 4M.
JB>FP> Anyone has some ideas ?

JB>NOPE, BP only does '286 protected mode ("16 bit"). so it's not real easy to
JB>access a selector pointed there 'cause 286 pro-mode only goes to 16Megs.
JB>of course you coule possibly get the EMS driver to re-map that range to
JB>somewhere inside the address space of the pascal prog.

i resolved the problem by loading 32RTM before my program.
