I believe that the combination of a vesa graphics driver for djgpp and the universal vesa tsr will solve a lot of the problems people are having. ---------------------------------------- Return-Path: From: Kendall Bennett Subject: Universal VESA TSR complete at last!!! To: bobp AT hal DOT com Date: Wed, 3 Mar 93 23:47:32 EDT X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.3 PL11] Bob, I have finally finished the first version of the Universal VESA TSR. You can ftp it along with the latest version of the test kit from the usual place (I have attached the release mail which you did not recieve as you were not on my mailing list :-( ... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi there, I have just released version 3.0 of the SuperVGA test kit library. This new version of the library contains the first release of the Universal VESA TSR, a small Terminate and Stay Resident program to convert most SuperVGA's into VESA 1.2 compatible SuperVGA's. You can even use it to make your current VESA SuperVGA more compliant (as long as the base chipset is supported). I have tested it on a number of different systems and it works perfectly (so far). Let me know how it works on your system. This version also contains fixed for the 24 bit library, which now works correctly for MegaEva/2 boards as well as Speedstar 24 and (hopefully) Genoa 7900 boards. I have also built 4 linkable libraries you can use in your own code, along with the appropriate header files (of course it is still very low level :-). Once again I would appreciate it if people test the library out and mail me with the results (even confirmation that it works). You can ftp it from the following address: godzilla.cgl.rmit.oz.au (131.170.14.2): kjb/MGL/svgakt21.zip I will also be uploading the file to Simtel20 and garbo in the next few days. Thanks again for your time.
