    Question

    I'm trying to figure out, how I can make the full screen mode when for instance Quake 2
    starts, when the screen is flickering a few times. I think it is called the MCGA mode...
    Does anyone know how to do this???

    Do you just mean putting the display into a different mode? The VESA VBE drivers are probably the best way of doing that. Try http://www.vesa.org and download the VBE3 documentation.

    I think you can do it with SetCooperativeLevel.
