How to draw a bar in vesa or to put a pixel. I was searching it but i didn't found anything. I am in protected mode. I am in 112h vesa mode (640x480 24bpp).

Help

thank you

On my newest card (a Sapphire 7950) the modenumber 112h do not exist.
And there are only vbe-modes with 8, 16 and 32 bit per pixel, like the modenumber 121h with a resolution of 640x480x32 on this card.

So i think if we want that our routine run also with different lists of modenumbers,
then we have to look into the modeslist that comes within the VBE 2 bios, or vbe 3 bios that we are "temporary" using
and get each number by number and with each number we can find the resolution, the bits per pixel,
the lenght of the scanline and the linear address of the framebuffer in the mode-info-buffer for each modenumber of the modelist.

you're welcome

You have to scan the mode list, and you have to be prepared for not finding any 24bpp modes, or not finding any 32bpp modes. Reportedly VESA 3.0 is no longer obligated to support "standard" modes, but 640x480 and 800x600 are present in 99.99% of cases.
