Hello Les,

create a sequence like this,

constant g_modes=(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,11,13}-- etc... (graphics.e has the
 ----complete list)

GRAPHICS MODES argument to graphics_mode()

mode description

-- ------ -1 restore to original default mode

0 40 x 25 text, 16 grey 1 40 x 25 text, 16/8 color

2 80 x 25 text, 16 grey 3 80 x 25 text, 16/8 color

4 320 x 200, 4 color 5 320 x 200, 4 grey

6 640 x 200, BW 7 80 x 25 text, BW

11 720 x 350, BW (many video cards are lacking this one) 13 320 x 200, 16 color

14 640 x 200, 16 color 15 640 x 350, BW (may be 4-color with blinking)

16 640 x 350, 4 or 16 color 17 640 x 480, BW

18 640 x 480, 16 color 19 320 x 200, 256 color

256 640 x 400, 256 color (some cards are missing this one) 257 640 x 480, 256 color (some cards are missing this one)

258 800 x 600, 16 color 259 800 x 600, 256 color

260 1024 x 768, 16 color 261 1024 x 768, 256 color

for x=1 to length(g_mode) do junk=graphic_mode(g_mode[x]) printf(1,"g_mode=%d\n",{g_mode[x]}) end for </eucode\> Some will work, some will crash and some will blink. Eliminate the ones that don't work from your sequence. Use only the ones that work, Don't worry about why they work.

Graphics cards and opperating systems decide which ones work.

If you had some working before and now they are not that is weird. But I would just run the test and go from there with what is working NOW.

Maybe somebody else knows why some graphic modes work and other don't.
