****************************
1.0 Supported VESA modes
This version of M64VBE supports VESA VBE 2.0.
The VESA modes supported by your mach64 card are dependent upon the
amount of video memory and the monitor type selected in the ADVANCED or
QUICK SETUP of the INSTALL program.
To determine the modes supported by your current configuration run
VESATEST.
****************************
2.0 mach64 VESA TSR
If you experience any problems with applications that use VESA modes,
install and run the ATI mach64 Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) VESA
program M64VBE.COM.
The default settings for M64VBE.COM are:
- dual read and write windows enabled
- 320 modes enabled
- Memory aperture on
- VGA CRT parameters enabled
- Display start address divided by 4
To un-install the mach64 VESA TSR Change directory to c:\mach64
(default) and type M64VBE U <enter>.
Note: If you experience any problems unloading the TSR please consult
your DOS documentation for TSR un-install limitations.
****************************
3.0 M64VBE Advanced Switches
If your VESA application continues to experience display problems after
loading M64VBE.COM, you should consult the application's documentation
for specific requirements. If the documentation indicates that it
requires VGA paging (aperture off), single read and write windows or
accelerator CRT parameters you must use the appropriate, Advanced M64VBE
switches listed below.
Syntax: M64VBE sw1 sw2... (where sw# represents a valid M64VBE switch)
M64VBE SWITCHES:
u - remove M64VBE from memory
s - enable single read and write window
d - enable dual read and write windows (default)
-3 - disable 320x200 & 320x240 support
3 - enable 320x200 & 320x240 support (default)
vw - set memory aperture to off
-vw - set memory aperture to on (default)
acc - use accelerated CRT parameters
vga - use standard VGA CRT parameters (default)
4 - display start address divided by 4
-4 - display start address not divided by 4 (default)
? - display help screen

4.0 Known Issues and Solutions
VESA 2.0 COMPATIBILITY ISSUES
If the VESA mode is not available or your application simply requires
VBE 2.0 compatibility to run better or the application is experiencing
problems like 1/4 screen, wrap around and general corruption, use
M64VBE with accelerator CRT and display start address divided by 4.
Affected applications include:
DUKE NUKEM 3D by 3D REALMS ENTERTAINMENT
FLIGHT UNLIMITED by LOOKING GLASS SOFTWARE
syntax: M64VBE ACC 4
MOUSE CURSOR PROBLEMS
If you are experiencing mouse pointer trails or any problem associated
with a pointing device, the VESA application may require a single read
and write window. To correct this problem, use M64VBE with the single
window implementation enabled.
Affected applications include:
OPERATION CRUSADER by AVALON HILL
WORD PERFECT TUTORIAL by LEARNKEY, INC.
syntax: M64VBE S
1/4 OF THE IMAGE VISIBLE
If the VESA application only displays in the upper 1/4 of the screen the
application may be assuming that the mach64 is a VGA Wonder compatible
card. To correct this problem use M64VBE with the set memory aperture to off
and VGA CRT parameters.
Affected applications include:
AIR WARRIOR by KESMAI
THE GRANDEST FLEET by QUANTUM QUALITY PRODUCTIONS
FXDRAW by ROBOCFG
syntax: M64VBE VW VGA
BLACK SCREENS OR SYSTEM HANGS
If starting the VESA application causes a black display or locks the
system, the application may not be compatible with Accelerated CRT
parameters. To correct this problem use M64VBE with the standard VGA CRT
parameters enabled.
Affected applications include:
RISE OF THE ROBOTS by TIME WARNER INTER.
HARDBALL IV by ACCOLADE INC.
EIGHT BALL DELUXE PINBALL by AMTEX
DESQVIEW/X by QUARTERDECK OFFICE SYSTEMS
OCEANS BELOW by SOFTWARE TOOLWORKS
syntax: M64VBE VGA
MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR 5.1 Fatal Error
For the GRAPHICS PRO TURBO, WINTURBO, GRAPHICS XPRESSION and WINBOOST
you must configure FLIGHT SIMULATOR for the ATI 18800/28800 display
driver.
MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR 5.1 quarter screen display
For the VIDEO XPRESSION and the 3D XPRESSION, you must configure
FLIGHT SIMULATOR for the VESA 1.2 display driver and run M64VBE with
single read and write window.
syntax: M64VBE S
