hello all,

i (and a friend) are writing a gfx lib for 
hi res graphics ( >= 640x480x256) in assy...

we have run into a small problem...

when we use int 10 to change the 
pal registers, there is some noise
(little dots) that appear at the top
of the screen...the kicker is that
the problem appears on ony a few cards...

for example: on a compuadd computer (386sx 16)
that uses a compuadd video card (based on a 
tseng 4000 chip, 512k), the problem is not there,
however on another computer (386dx 33 clone)
that uses a siig video card (based on a tseng
4000 chip, 1M), the problem appears...i have also
seen it on a paridise card...

i have tried to sync my int call with the vsync and
have also used 'cli' before the call,however
the problem persists...

does anyone have any ideas how to get rid 'o 
this ????????

i would like email replies, but i'll check the
posts too...

thanks very much,

daniel a. sill
