If yes, it would be 0 again after substracting 1. Should it be `pages = 1` instead of `pages++`? The goal was to report 0 if there isn't enough memory for even a single image. Ideally that would not happen in practice as it shouldn't even be presented as a valid video mode if there isn't enough memory for it. Otherwise, the goal is to report between 1-127 (inclusive) for the number of pages. So, if there is only enough ram for 1 image, then the code would report 1 (which means 2 images). If there is enough ram for more than 128 images, then the code would report 127 (which means 128). This is what the AMD VGABIOS appears to be doing. -Kevin ___ SeaBIOS mailing list SeaBIOS@seabios.org http://www.seabios.org/mailman/listinfo/seabios
