Hello there,

I have an image file that is of the following format:

16 bits pr pixel.
5 Blue
6 Green
5 red

I would like to display it on a regular super VGA. I have tried thee 
following:
Set the VGA to 640 * 480 using borland C. I discovered that I can display 
only 16 colors.

And yet I hear that you can display on the VGA 16 millions 
collors. I know I am missing something big here. Can somebody point me in 
the right direction. Maybe have a piece of code or pseudo code showing 
how to set the VGA or SVGA to display my file.

Thank you,
----
