- ; Mode X (320x240, 256 colors) mode set routine. Works on all VGAs.
- ; ****************************************************************
- ; * Revised 6/19/91 to select correct clock; fixes vertical roll *
- ; * problems on fixed-frequency (IBM 851X-type) monitors. *
- ; ****************************************************************
- ; C near-callable as:
- ; void Set320x240Mode(void);
- ; Tested with TASM 2.0.
- ; Modified from public-domain mode set code by John Bridges.
