Something like this should work:
#include <asm/io.h>
void setPalette( uchar *thePalette )
{
uchar stat;
outb(0x14,0x3d6);
stat = inb( 0x3D7 ) & 0x8F;
outb(stat | 0x50,0x3D7);
while ( inb( 0x3D7 ) & 0x08 )
continue;
outb(0,0x3C8);
asm volatile ("rep ; outsb" ::
"c" (768), "S" (thePalette) :
"ecx", "esi");
}
Note you had the order of the operands for outb backwards.
Note also that you have to compile with some optimization for in/out to
work.
