- This is the first maintenance release for GRX 1.03. It contains the
- following bugfixes/enhancements:
-
- - The VESA driver (vesadrv.vdr) failed to recoginize the supported
- VESA modes on some cards due to a feature in some VESA BIOS
- extensions. The updated driver in this release fixes this problem.
- NOTE: until the new VESA driver becomes part of GO32 (i.e. until
- the next DJGPP maintenance release) use the 'driver' field of the
- GO32 environment variable to explicitly load the new driver.
-
- - The VGA memory size detection logic in the VESA driver has been
- upgraded.
-
- - The convex polygon fill code now handles the two point (line)
- case properly.
-
- - The release also contains the PCX screen dump code previously
- posted to the mail group.
-
- - The libraries are now compiled with GCC version 2.5.7.
-
- The udated files are in the ZIP archive 'grx103m1.zip'. The ZIP file
- was created using the standard DJGPP directory structure: the GRX files
- are under '.....contrib\libgrx'. Unzip this file in the DJGPP base
- directory AFTER the original GRX archives. If you reinstall GRX you will
- have to reinstall this archive as well. If you use PKUNZIP, don't forget
- the '-d' switch!
-
- IMPORTANT: Please delete the VESAINFO.* files from the 'drivers' sub-
- directory (NOT 'ndrivers'!) of the GRX tree. These files are obsolete,
- on some VGA cards may even lock up the system!
