My XP screen gets messed up everytime I quit QB after activating a Vesa mode.
This does not happen with the standard QB screen graphic modes, e.g. SCREEN 12 or 13.
Can anyone (Glenn ? :wink: ) tell us the difference between
and
Code:
Regs.ax = &H4F02
Regs.bx = &H10E 'Hoping it is the right code for 320x200x256colors !
CALL InterruptX(&H10, Regs, Regs)
1.- This may be a problem with the VESA driver. I had a problem with returning to text mode in my card, it was solved when i switched to W2000 and i had to download a new driver.
2.-Mode 13 is a VGA mode using a concealed 4 planes paging mode( you adress it lineary), it responds to the normal VGA OUT and BIOS commands and it allows only for one page.
The equivalent VESA mode is truly linear,can have as many pages as memory allows and does'nt have to respond to OUT commands
The problem is that I had only problems with this new machine, such as Windows XP that jut would not reboot last week ! I had to reload everything...
I came back to the original factory XP by Compaq, it's much better , but I still have that SVGA issue to solve, and it should be fine...
An I just have no idea about a better driver : I've been told about a Catalyst video driver... what is it ?
I said this before, will say it again.
Three letters, ATI
I know it's a real pain in the ass (I've been trying to work with that for one month!).
The question is : can this catalyst driver help (it's from
www.ATI.com), or will it mess up my configuration ?
