Can anyone tell me why there is a "void" (blackness) are on the screen =
when using a graphics mode of 256? It seems to affect BMPs. Does =
use_vesa(1) counter this?
Also regarding 256 graphics_mode, what is the border for? Can I get rid =
of it?

If by void, you mean a good portion of the screen black, with perhaps a
distorted image where it;s not black, then this is what I get when I don't use
use_vesa(1).
Also, some graphics cards just can't display all modes in the Euphoria list.
You'll just have to try each.
For comparison, I found a BASIC program that changed modes, it failed on the
same modes that Euphoria couldn't use - showing that it was my graphics card,
not Euphoria that caused the problem.
