Some notes about High-Res in Chasm.
======================================================
Chasm supports a variety of video modes depending on
the available video card and VESA version. Standard mode is
320x200 and it is supported on all video cards.
If you have a 1.x VESA compatible card with no additional
drivers loaded you will get two additional modes:
640x400 and 640x480, but only with BANKED access to video
memory. Against FLAT/LINEAR access this can be extremely slow.
In this case we recommend you use any VESA 2.0 compatible
driver. A good choice is UniVBE, a shareware product
designed by SciTech. It provides support for VESA 2.0 for
most present video adapters. Currently most new video
cards have VESA 2.0 compatible BIOS built in, so you
don't need to load any TSR drivers.
In addition to increase frame rate, VESA 2.0 provides
the best list of available video modes such as 400x300
and 512x384, that are a good compromise between speed and
graphics quality. We do not recommend set modes with
YResolution highest then XResolution (320x400, 360x480).
Proportional modes always gives better quality for it's
decrease of frame-rate.
You can set the video mode, using "Video Mode..." in the Options
menu. In the command line use command -vmodeN, where N is the
desired video mode number in Video modes list.
