I would like to know how to access the ports for the VGA card, the Joystick, the Keyboard, etcetera, generally, any port I need to. I of course have the hexidecimal codes for them already (joystick is 201h) but I need to have the actual function to get to them, and a way to send the appropriate mask. I assume that unlike in Linux, the permissions on ports are not as heavy, but I still need the functions. In the older VC++ compilers it was void outp( unsigned, unsigned ), int inpt( unsigned ). Any help here would be greatly appreciated, I could find no relavent data to this on your FAQ's and such. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Check out: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
