Hi

I own a new PC, a PII 350 MHz, 64 MB. The OS is W95.  DJGPP and Rhide
work fine (and fast). With the video card I am not very happy. It's a
Intel 740 AGP with 8 MB. The problems:

1- The 28 lines text mode (I liked to use it) donīt work in full screen.
It appear garbage, probably because the BIOS don't have de 9x14 EGA font
(It work in a window).

2- The Allegro Test program (v 2.2) detect linear VESA 2.0, but some
tests don't work and even crash the computer. Choosing VESA 1.x all
tests works.

3- GRX detect VESA and work but with some ugly efects.

4- Some older VGA programs I have (not DJGPP programs) don't work.

I'm thinking to rescue my old S3.

Regards, M.Alvarez
