is there a grahic mode?

[glitch13]

aside from X, is there a graphics mode you can get into in C (like you can in DOS)?

You know, 320x200x256colors

I am betting that you could do the int calls and such to set the 320x200x256 mode, and do direct video memory addressing. I don't remember how it was done, but, I think the res mode was 13 or something .. in DOS anyway. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

Short answer - no.
TLD gave you the long answer pretty much. In fact, I think it even requires an inline assembly call to do.

Though there may be some package out there that does it for you easily.

I came across this assembly segment, thought you might like to take a gander at it.
