VGA Programming

Posted by Morgan Terry on 1999-10-11

If anyone can answer this, I would really appreciate it.  I have been
messing around with VGA programming, but whenever I write to the video
buffer, my machine locks up.  I can change to mode 13h and back to text
mode, but that is about it.  I am reading _The Black Art of 3D Game
Programming_ and it says that the video buffer is at 0xA0000000L.  Is
there some wierd way that Windows uses memory that makes this not true
or is the address just wrong (or did I just get a bogus copy of source
code)?
