Subject: vesa_s3-driver?

Hi all,

I've written a program using libgrx with a ET4000-VGA and it works fine at
800x600x256. If I start it with an ELSA WINNER 1000 (S3) VGA, it does'nt
work.

1) GR_default_graphics uses an 16 Color-Mode even if I specify
     'GO32=driver c:/gnu/drivers/vesa_s3.grn gw 320 gh 200 gn 256'

2) using GR_width_heigth_color_graphics with 320x200x256 works, but all
   modes with more resolution switch the screen to graphics, but doesn't
   draw anything!

Has anyone seen this problem too and can give me a solution? What I need is
a Graphics-Mode with 256 Colors and at least 640x480. The WINNER 1000 could
do 256-color in 1024x768x256 at 72Hz non-interlaced, so it would be fine to
use this mode with libgrx too.

Thanks for any answers

Roland
