multiple video pages?

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

I was having difficulty and am hoping that someone can help me.  What I want to
do is to load a gif image on a hidden screen and then save sections of the image
into some sequences.  I thought that either changing the active page or the
display page while I did this would work I can't seem to find a graphics mode
that supports more than one video page and supports 640 by 480 resolution.

So what I want is a graphics mode that supports more than one video page, 640 by
480 pixel graphics, and preferably 256 color (although I'd settle for 16 if I
had to.)  So far I've had no luck.  I've tried to following modes (* indicates
that it does not seem to support more than one video page, ^ indicates that it
doesn't seem to be compatible with my system):  18*, 19*(not 640 by 480), 257*,
258^, 259^, 260^, and 261^.

Is there a mode that I overlooked?  Would a mode that I mentioned above actually
work, but I just didn't realize it?  Is there another way of hiding something
from the user without using a different active/display video page?  I'd
appreciate any help anyone can give.
Thanks in advance,
