- I am trying to develop drivers for the Everex Viewpoint VGA card
- with 512K of memory, and I noticed that some video modes don't seem
- to work properly. All these modes were called with the following
- parameters:
-
- AH = 0;
- AL = 0x70;
- BL = mode_num;
-
- and then an INT 10 was done. Using mode_num with the following values
- produced bad results:
-
-
- mode_num HRES VRES Colors Result
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- 0x30 640 480 256 Black screen.
- 0x31 800 600 256 Strip filled with hash.
- 0x14 640 400 256 Strip filled with hash.
-
- Also, no indication was given in your manual on how to access all the
- memory on the card, for example, to display the full 800 X 600 screen
- even though the segment offsets are 16 bits.
-
- I don't think this is a frequency problem, because the system does
- seem to work properly at the 800 X 600 and 1024 X 768 16 color modes.
-
- System configuration:
- Compaq 386/20 10 meg memory.
- Mitsubishi Diamond Scan 16'' analog RGB monitor.
- Everex Viewpoint VGA card with 512K of memory.
