Graphic mode under gcc

[Jean-Baptiste CAMPESATO]

Hello,
I used GCC under Linux.
I want to change the graphic mode to write directly in the video memory.
I wrote that :
void setmode(unsigned int mode)
{
if (mode == 1)
{
__asm__("movl $0x13, %eax");
}
else
{
__asm__("movl $0x03, %eax");
}
__asm__("int $0x10");
}

I've a segfault at the "int instruction".

Thanks

ISO C only defines the core language, leaving tasks like yours
as implementation extensions. Because comp.lang.c only deals
with ISO C, your question is off-topic.

Please ask your question in a linux developers group.

You cannot write to video memory directly in any decent OS. There are APIs
(the Linux framebuffer API, vgalib, SDL) that more or less do the same,
but those are not on topic here.

^^^^^^^^
That's funny. I reread the orignal post very carefully, and I saw no
question. Just a series of statements.
