Hi,



	Does anyone know where I can get source for displaying a 

	background image (GsBG definition)?



	I have tried all day to display a repeated texture cell 

	but have been so far been unsuccessful.



	Also, is it possible to rotate the background image using

	hardware - There is a rotate field within the GsBG structure

	but the comments describing the function GsSortFixBg16 

        (which I am trying to use to display the image) say :-

        "BG rotation/scaling/reduction not possible"



	Thanks in advance,

			  Richard Haskey



	N.B. For what its worth, the screen I am using is setup as 

	320 X 256 with video mode PAL.
