VESA mouse procedures

Posted by Jaz on 1998-02-08

Does anyone of you know how to tell the computer that
a cell in text mode is not 8x8 pixels but 1x1 pixels
large? No, I'm not crazy, I just want to use the
interrupt 33h mouse procedures in VESA modes and there
the mouse is still in 80*25 or 80*50 text mode and
always increments by 8x8 pixel cells. Of course I could
just tell the mouse to have an 8-fold high and wide
area and then just divide the coordinates by 8 but
the mouse gets very slow (8 times slower) then and
you can't push down the mickey/pixel rate so far that
the speed is back to normal again.
