Subject:  ATI Wonder Card

Hi,

   I have a compaq 386 with an ATI Wondercard manufactured in 1989.
Yesterday, I installed a demo version of XAPPEAL, an X11 server for MSDOS.
The documentation indicated that it was written using DJGPP.  The only
problem I had with the software is that the video would not sync well.  I am
using an NEC Multisync 3D monitor so I do not believe that this is due to
the monitor.  Rather, I believe that the problem lies with the graphics
driver. The drivers that come with the program includes one called
ativga.gfx which support ATI 18??? chipsets.  Is the ATI Wondercard of this
type?  If not, does anyone have a driver for it?

   I reviewed the documentation of the graphics drivers that come with DJGPP
and it appears that DJGPP can only support graphics cards that are
compatable with its paging mechanism.  Is the ATI Wondercard such a card?  

Thanks,
--John
