1.0 INTRODUCTION
This is Version 1.5 (Build 59) of the FlexDesk Windows Driver.
FlexDesk is a very advanced Windows Driver. It supports the ATI 68800 (mach32)
chipset with 1.0 MB or more of memory. 16, 256, 32768, 65536 and 16.7 million
color modes are supported in resolutions of 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 and
1280x1024. See Requirements, Section 3.0 for color/resolution/memory matrix.
This is the latest release of ATI Windows Drivers and utilities for the ATI
Ultra Pro and Ultra+ Series. The Windows driver is Version 1.5 (Build 59).
This release includes 16.7 Million color modes, as well as Crystal Fonts,
accessible directly from the FlexDesk Control Panel.
There are still some outstanding issues, and we are working to resolve all of
them. We will continue to enhance and update our drivers on a regular basis.
For further assistance you may contact our Customer Support at:
ATI Technologies Inc.
Phone (416) 756-0711,
FAX (416) 756-0720, or
COMPUSERVE @ "GO ATITECH"
Please ensure that you inform Customer Support that you are using
Version 1.5 build 59 of the mach32 Windows driver.
FlexDesk will only work with Windows in 386 Enhanced Mode. The driver uses the
best possible combination of Linear Frame Buffer and Accelerator in order to
maximize performance. If the Linear Frame Buffer is not available, that feature
is emulated. To use the ULTRA PRO or ULTRA+ on a 286 based processor, or in
Windows Standard Mode, you must use the 8514/a driver included with Microsoft
Windows.
1.1 REPORTING BUGS
When reporting problems with this driver, please reference the driver build
number. When in doubt about the build number, call up the FlexDesk Control
Panel, and read the driver revision and build number. The format is: 1.5(59).
1.5 is the version number, 59 is the build number. If the Control Panel does
not indicate the version number (NA), then
(a) You may not be running the FlexDesk driver.
(Run Windows Setup and ensure that the mach32 Driver is chosen)
(b) Your bug may be preventing the Control Panel from reading the driver
build number. Try restarting Windows, and if this does not remedy the
problem, report the Date, Time and Size of the driver (MACH32.DRV file).
(c) You may be using BitStream Facelift 2.0. If you are using this Typeface
Manager, report the Date, Time and Size of the driver (MACH32.DRV file).
When calling our Customer Support, please ensure that you have all information
which will allow Customer Support to assist you with your problem. This
includes not only the build number, but also information found in the Customer
Support section of your manual including, but not limited to:

The CRYSTAL Fonts feature can use Windows 3.1 TrueType fonts and ATI GSF format
fonts. The Grey Scale Font format (GSF) is required under Windows 3.0, which
does not support TrueType.
To use GSF fonts requires that the CRYSTAL Fonts be
placed in a directory. The CRYSTAL Fonts are in an archive to save space. Set
the environment variable GSFONTS to the directory the fonts are in prior to
running the driver. This is done automatically by the INSTALL utility.
3.0 REQUIREMENTS
FlexDesk requires an ATI 68800 (mach32) based video controller. The driver is
designed to work best with Windows 3.1. Windows must be in Enhanced mode for
FlexDesk to run. Windows 3.0 operation is possible, at the expense of some
features and performance.
A minimum of 1.0 MB of Video Memory is required for FlexDesk operation.
Please note that 1280x1024 operation requires 2MB of Video Memory.
Video Memory Required:
16 color 256 color 65K color 16.7M color
640x480 1MB 1MB 1MB 1MB
800x600 1MB 1MB 1MB* 2MB***
1024x768 1MB 1MB 2MB ---
1280x1024** 2MB 2MB --- ---
* 1.0 MB @ 56Hz, else 2MB required
**GRAPHICS ULTRA PRO allows 1280x1024 non-interlaced.
**ULTRA+ allows 1280x1024 interlaced only.
*** Maximum vertical refresh is 70 Hz.
FlexDesk uses Video Memory for Character and Bitmap caching, so more memory
will result in greater performance. The above table is the minimum memory
needed to run the given mode.
For unsupported configurations, we recommend that you use the Microsoft
supplied windows 8514/a driver.
When installing the 8514/a driver, ensure that the VGA Memory Size is
set to 256K or greater. Do not set the VGA Memory Size to Shared on 2.0 MEG
mach32 cards, or DOS Boxes will not function correctly with the Microsoft
8514/a driver.
NOTE: 2.0 MB of Video Memory is required for this to work.
4.0 INSTALLATION
Please follow directions accompaning your Diskettes or Download files as
applicable.
FROM DISKETTE, use the ATI INSTALL Program, Select "Install Device Drivers",
then choose Microsoft Windows. After the files are decompressed to your hard disk,
use the Microsoft SETUP utility to install the driver into Windows.
You may then use the FlexDesk Control Panel from within Windows to make
modifications to the setup.
FROM A DOWNLOAD, follow instructions of the applicable "README" files
attached to the Download.
This section serves to document the various changes that are made to the
SYSTEM.INI and WIN.INI files. For more information on the [Mach32] settings,
see the Configuration section.

4.1 WINDOWS 3.0
A limited installation can be done under Windows 3.0.
THIS IS NOT NECESSARY with the mach32 diskettes version 1.5 or higher.
If you have version 1.5 or higher please select the Microsoft Windows
3.0 entry from the Install device driver selection.
For manual install:
1 - Install the Microsoft 8514/a driver for Windows 3.0.
If this driver is not available, then install the VGA driver.
2 - Copy the following files into the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory:
mach32.drv
mach32.386
wifeman.dll
3 - Edit your SYSTEM.INI file:
[boot]
display.drv=mach32.drv (change)
[386Enh]
device=mach32.386 (new)
4 - Add a [Mach32] section to your WIN.INI file:
[Mach32]
DeviceBitmap=off (required!)
PixelDepth=8
DesktopSize=1024
ScreenSize=1024
Some restrictions apply under Windows 3.0.
1 - DOS Boxes do not work. This will be remedied in a future version.
2 - Performance of the driver will not be as high as it is under Windows 3.1
This is a permanent restriction. Performance loss may be as high as 30%.
5.0 PROBLEMS
* Running 8514/a or mach32 Software in a DOS Full Screen Session
This DOES NOT work. When switching back to the Windows desktop, you may
experience loss of cursor, text or icons. Run 8514/a or mach32 software
from DOS, not a Windows DOS shell.
This only applies to specific 8514/a applications and specific mach32
applications (e.g. ATI VGRAF.EXE).
DOS Box support is supplied for Applications using VGA Based Displays only.
* DOS Windows/Boxes
Modes 14, 16 and 18 cannot be entered while in a DOS Window. When in DOS
Full Screen, this is not a problem. These are VGA specific graphics modes.
It is possible to run these modes in a window if you have 2.0 MB of video
memory. Ensure that VGA size in the INSTALL program is set to 256K or larger.
Edit your [Mach32] section and add or modify the line:
VGAShared=off
This will use fixed VGA region to allow the VGA graphics mode to be properly
emulated.
* Excessive dithering and incorrect colors in 8 bpp with PaletteManager=off
(Flexdesk Control Panel, 8pp is all 256 color modes)
When running in 8 bpp (256 color) and palette manager off mode, the available
colors are very different from those found in the fixed palette of the VGA.
This is because the 3/3/2 palette (3 bits of red, 3 of green and 2 of blue)
does not have exact matches for the standard VGA colors. This can result in
dithering in areas where it would be unwanted (e.g. title bars).
This can bem partially avoided by choosing new desktop color settings for
this mode.
There may be several good reasons to use this mode:
1 - 256 non-dithered colors to choose from.
2 - Fast, very good dithering
3 - Fast, somewhat accurate translation of true color dibs. This allows
the use of true color files as wallpaper without palette
translation.
4 - Good image quality without the slow annoying redraws when
displaying multiple 256 color images.
* Unattractive Dithering
If you are using 256 color palette manager enabled modes, and find that the
dithering of colors is unattractive, try setting FlexDesk Advanced
"Dithering" to "VGA Standard" instead of the default "Fast". After you do
this, you will have to re-select Windows colors as they will appear wrong.
* Changing Pixel Depth and Colors
When changing pixel depths and Palette Manager modes, there may be
inappropriate color choices made (especially when using Windows Standard
Colors). This can manifest itself in Clock when updating the time, and in
Menu items not being highlighted properly.
To fix this, delete the color entries from the WIN.INI [Colors] section.
Windows will re-read the suggested colors from the driver, and the problem
will be resolved. You can also use the Windows Control Panel to adjust your
system colors.
* BitStream Facelift 2.0
The BitStream Facelift 2.0 Typeface Manager is not fully compatible with
Windows 3.1. It works as an "interception" between Windows and the Display
driver, and does not pass all information through to the driver.
To use Facelift with the FlexDesk driver, edit your WIN.INI [Mach32] section
modifying or adding the line:
DeviceBitmap=off
Also, modify your SYSTEM.INI [boot] section:
display.org=mach32.drv
The FlexDesk Control Panel will not correctly display the driver version,
and it will claim that the FlexDesk driver has not been loaded. The Control
Panel can be used to change driver resolution, but changing font size
(Small/Large/DTP) will not work. Also, after changing color depth, the
desktop colors may need adjustment using the Windows Control Panel Colors
utility.
To use other than Large Font mode (120 ldpi), you will have to manually
modify the SYSTEM.INI file. Select the correct M32- ??.DRV file from the
section on manual installation, and alter the "display.org=" line. Remember
to update the [boot] and [boot.description] sections to reflect the new
ldpi (96, 120 or 128).
* WINRIX
There are problems when using WinRix from RIX Softworks Inc. with the
FlexDesk driver. This can result in striped garbage appearing on the
screen when this product is used in 256 or 65,536 color modes. We are
working with RIX Softworks to remedy this problem.
* CRYSTAL Fonts
CRYSTAL Fonts is an anti-aliased screen font technology that uses 16 shades
of grey (or 4 colors) instead of only black and white to create each character.
This technique creates a truer screen representation of your fonts, truer to
laser printer output than any other screen font technology. It also makes
screen fonts easier to read. This feature is popular with desktop publishers.
CRYSTAL Fonts will work at any resolution, but only in 256 color mode (8bpp).
This is a fixed palette mode (not application settable). Individual Windows
applications cannot set their own palette. This means that certain colors
chosen with CRYSTAL Fonts turned off may not appear as the same color with
CRYSTAL Fonts turned on.
Please note that while Crystal Fonts makes fonts easier to read, it may
affect overall performance.
* Corel Draw
If using Crystal Fonts with CorelDraw, you may get an "Invalid TrueType Font"
message. We are currently working with Corel in investigating this problem.
When using 200% or 400% zoom with Corel Draw, you may experience spurious lines
or other screen anomalies. We are currently investigating this issue.
If you experience other screen anomalies when using Corel Draw, try setting
Device Bitmaps to off (FlexDesk Control Panel, Advanced section). This should
take care of most problems.
* OriginFX Screen Saver
This software will not work correctly with the FlexDesk driver. It makes certain
assumptions about the display driver, and will only work correctly with the
Microsoft VGA driver.
* VideoBlaster
The Creative Labs VideoBlaster product is incompatible with mach32 based
products at this time. we have been in contact with Creative Labs.
* WordPerfect for Windows
If you are using WordPerfect for Windows with the CRYSTAL Fonts option, modify
the WordPerfect icon (File/Properties) and add the /FL switch to the command.
If this is not done, you will experience "ugly" characters, and loss of anti-
aliasing and in some some conditions and configurations a few GPF's.
This OPTION ONLY APPLIES to WPWIN 5.1 dated 04/30/92 and WPWIN 5.2
* Large Bitmaps and the Windows Desktop
If you select a large 24 bit BMP as your desktop picture, BE PATIENT. It may
take up to several minutes to display the image (these are VERY large images,
and do take time to process).
* Printing (Within Windows)
You may experience problems when printing from Windows with the mach32 driver.
If you have printing problems, please reconfigure Windows and try it again using
the Microsoft Supplied 8514/a Driver.
If your printing problems persist please contact your Printer Manufacturer
or Microsoft.
If problems are corrected using the Microsoft Supplied 8514/a Drivers please
Contact ATI Customer Support department (see the top of this document).
Because printing from within Windows is a complex task, requiring extensive
usage of the Video driver, Microsoft Code and Printer Manufacturer Code, we
(and other video manufacturers) may at times experience printing issues.
We have already addressed many printing issues and will continue to address
your priniting requirements with the highest priority.
* 386MAX
If using the FlexDesk driver with the Aperture disabled (virtual aperture
mode) on a system running Qualitas 386MAX, the 386MAX.PRO file must be
modified to remove the "VGASWAP" flag.
The VGA area is used to provide aperture services by the driver, and
thus cannot be moved by 386MAX.
Our Customer Support has additional Tech Notes avialable on
Expanded Memory Mangers.
* WorkGroup for Windows
Microsoft WorkGroup for Windows will not install if the FlexDesk driver is
active.
Select the VGA driver prior to installing this product, and then reselect
the FlexDesk driver after the installation is complete.
* Video Overlay Boards
A switch has been added VGADAC=on (off). When set to off, only the 8514/a
DAC registers are set. Some Video Overlay boards will require this switch
to be set on, because they do "DAC snooping" to show correct colors.
* AfterDark and 24BPP
The aquarium screen saver in AfterDark (Berkley) may chop fish when
FlexDesk is in 24BPP mode. There may be other anomalies when using After
Dark in 24bpp mode. We are working with the software vendor on these
issues.
Please Note: Many screen savers support 32K, 65K, or 16.7Million colors,
they will NOT provide higher quality images above 256 color modes.
* Ventura Publisher
You may experience General Protection Faults when running Ventura Publisher
for Windows in 16BPP (65,000 color) modes. We are working with the
software vendor on these issues.
USE 8BPP (256 color) color modes instead.
* Adobe Illustrator
You may experience General Protection Faults when running Adobe
Illustrator. We are working with the software vendor on these issues.
As a work-around, set Device Bitmaps off (FlexDesk Control Panel, Advanced
section).
* Microsoft Excel
You may run out of system resources when running very large spreadsheets or
when running in 65,000 color modes. We are working with the software
vendor on these issues.
We suggest running Excel at 256 color mode as a work-around.
* PaintBrush PCX Format
If the driver is run in 65 thousand or 16.7 million color mode, you may
experience color problems when saving PCX files. We are currently
investigating this issue.
We suggest running PaintBrush at 256 color mode as a work-around when
using PCX files.
* Solitaire Speed
If running Windows Solitaire with Virtual Aperture (Physical Aperture
disabled), you may experience performance problems.
Try setting WIN.INI [Mach32] Pixel=on to remedy this.
DeviceBitMap=on may also speed up Solitaire, but it may also affect the
operation of other applications.
6.0 CONFIGURATION
WIN.INI [Mach32] Entries
The [Mach32] section of WIN.INI has switches which can be tailored to change
FlexDesk.
Most of the switches are alterable via the FlexDesk Control Panel, and this is
the preferred way to change them.
THESE ARE FOR YOUR REFERENCE ONLY
RANDOM CHANGES TO THIS SECTION MAY CAUSE UNKNOWN RESULTS
WHEN IN DOUBT... DON'T!
CacheCharacters = on | off Default on
Allow for caching characters into the off-screen memory area.
ColorWeight16 = 555 | 565 | 655 | 664 Default 565
Choose color weighting when PixelDepth=16 is active. The number is interpreted
as the number of Red, Green and Blue bits. For instance, 565 allots 5 bits for
Red, 6 bits for Green and 5 bits for Blue. 655 and 664 modes are only available
on the ATI 68875 DAC.
CrystalFonts = on | off Default off
When set on, enables the CRYSTAL Font feature. When CRYSTAL Fonts is enabled,
the palette is fixed in 8 bpp non- programmable mode. 5 gradients of red, blue
and green (125 colors) are available in the palette. Also the usual 20 Windows
system colors are supported, and 16 shades of gray (including black and white).
The remainder of the palette is unused.
DesktopSize = 640 | 800 | 1024 | 1280 Default 640
Choose size of Windows work area. The screen may be smaller than the work area
(see ScreenSize setting), in which case the Virtual Desktop feature is
activated. Use the mouse to pan the display over the desktop. 640 selects
640x480, 800 selects 800x600, 1024 selects 1024x768 and 1280 selects 1280x1024.
All modes have 4:3 aspect (which results in square pixels), except 1280.
(1280x1024 is a 5:4 pixel ratio. Square pixels 4:3 with 1280 would
be 1280x960).
Dithering = on | off Default on
Allow for disabling color dithering. This results in faster performance, at the
expense of color fidelity.
DeviceBitmap = on | off Default on
Allow for realizing bitmaps in the off-screen memory area. For some
applications (for example BitStream Facelift), this feature must be turned off.
DeviceBitmapDraw = on | off Default off
Allow the mach32 draw engine to draw into realized bitmaps. DeviceBitmap=on
must be set for this to have any effect.
THIS FEATURE IS NOT FULLY IMPLEMENTED, PLEASE LEAVE THIS OFF!
EngineBlt = on | off Default on
Use the mach32 blit engine.
ErrorFatal = on | off Default on
When set on, all startup errors are treated as fatal, and will result in
returning to the DOS prompt. When set to off, a message is displayed and the
user is invited to press <D> to return to the DOS prompt, or <I> to ignore the
error and continue.
GSFonts = <path: c:\gsfonts> Default NONE
If this entry is specified, the directory path is used to search for the
CRYSTAL Font outlines. If not specified (normal), the environment variable
GSFONTS is used instead.
MinFontSize = <number: 0..255> Default 8
Minimum height of a font in pixels to be anti-aliased (CRYSTAL Fonts). If a
font renders to less than MinFontSize, it is not anti-aliased. This allows
very small characters to remain legible.
PaletteManager = on | off Default on
Enable palette management when PixelDepth=8. This allows applications to
control the physical palette, and permits applications such as After Dark to do
palette cycling animation. When the PaletteManage is off, the color mode will
use a fixed 332 (3 bits Red, 3 bits Green, 2 bits Blue) palette.
Pixel = on | off Default off
Enable pixel processing through the engine. If running with Virtual Aperture,
you may find that setting this to on results in greater performance (eg.
in Solitaire).
PixelDepth = 4 | 8 | 16 | 24 | 32 Default 8
Choose number of bits per pixel. 4 allows 16 colors, 8 allows 256 colors and 16
allows 32768 (in 555 mode) or 65536 colors. 24 and 32 both provide for 16.7
million colors. 24 gives a 3 byte per pixel format and saves memory over 32
which gives a 4 byte per pixel format. 24 works for both 640x480 and 800x600
modes, whereas 32 is only usable in 640x480 mode. The Control Panel will always
select 24 bpp for 16.7 million color mode.
Polygon = on | off Default on
When set on, Polygons are accelerated by the drawing engine.
PolyLine = on | off Default on
When set on, PolyLines are accelerated by the drawing engine.
ScreenSize = 640 | 800 | 1024 | 1280 Default DesktopSize
Select the screen size (screen mode).
ScanLine = on | off Default on
Use the mach32 engine to assist in scanline drawing.
SlowDither = on | off Default off
Use ATI Fast Dither algorithm when set off, or VGA Standard dither when set on.
Only applicable in 256 color, palette manager enabled mode.
StretchBlt = on | off Default on
Enable driver StretchBlt when on. If set to off, GDI StretchBlt will be used
instead.
SystemFont = <font> Default HelveticaBold
Allows the Windows System Font to be specified when CrystalFonts=on. This font
is used for Icon titles, menus, etc. This entry should be used with Windows 3.0
only, because Windows 3.1 allows changing the System font through its own
mechanism.
TextGamma = <number: 20..300> Default 100
This setting controls the edge sharpness for the CRYSTAL Fonts feature. Higher
values lighten up the edge pixels, giving you "thinner" characters.
VAD = on | off Default off
Forces Virtual Aperture when set to on. When set to off, Virtual Aperture is
enabled automatically when the Physical Aperture is disabled (through INSTALL).
VGADAC = on | off Default off
Program VGA DAC in synch with 8514/a DAC registers. If you experience problems
with Video Overlay boards, try setting this switch on.
VGAShared = on | off Default on
Share the video board memory between VGA and Accelerator, or maintain separate
memory spaces. When running with Virtual Aperture (Physical Aperture disabled,
or VAD=on), VGAShared has no effect (it is forced on).
7.0 ERRORS
All FlexDesk error messages can be/are issued at WINDOWS startup. The error
message is displayed, and the system speaker is beeped. The operator is invited
to press a key to return to DOS. This behaviour can be modified to allow the
operator to ignore the error and proceed (see the ErrorFatal switch).
Due to the complexity of the Systems involved there are also many other reasons
which can manifest themselves as errors listed below
SUCH AS: Conflicts at Port Address 2Ex (2E0-2E8-2EF) (Comm Port 4)
Expanded Memory Managers and Video Areas
TSR, Etc
ATI FlexDesk Windows Driver Errors:
The ATI FlexDesk Windows Driver requires an ATI 68800 based video board or
product.
Press a key to return to DOS.
The FlexDesk driver was started on a system without a mach32 based video product
or a memory manager conflict exists which may "HIDE" the card from our Driver.
ATI FlexDesk Windows Driver Error:
The ATI 68800 ROM cannot be accessed. Please refer to your
owners manual for hardware setup assistance.
Press a key to return to DOS.
The mach32 BIOS ROM failed. It has probably been disabled via DIP switch.
ATI FlexDesk Windows Driver Error:
The Memory Aperture cannot be accessed. Pleas run the INSTALL utility and
ensure that the Memory Aperture is enabled.
Press a key to return to DOS.
The Memory Aperture has not been enabled, (ATI INSTALL
PROGRAM) or there is a serious problem trying to access it.
DO YOU HAVE MORE THAN 12 MEG OF SYSTEM RAM
ATI FlexDesk Windows Driver Error:
The Memory Aperture conflicts with system memory, or another option
adaptor card. Please run the INSTALL utility and move the Memory Aperture
to another location.
Press a key to return to DOS.
The Memory Aperture conflicts with another adaptor, or there is a serious
problem trying to access it.
ATI FlexDesk Windows Driver Error:
The ROM BIOS Query has returned a failure. Please ensure that the BIOS ROM
is enabled, and that you have set up at least one video mode.
Press a key to return to DOS.
The mach32 BIOS ROM has not responded in a reasonable way to the QUERY service.
This may be because the ROM is disabled, or there may be no video modes.
ATI FlexDesk Windows Driver Error:
You have insufficient Video Memory to run a %1x%2/%3 video mode. Run
Windows SETUP from DOS and select a lower resolution mode.
Press a key to return to DOS.
Not enough video memory. The numbers indicate X, Y and number of colors. For
instance, 1280x1024/65536 is not possible on a 2MB card.
ATI FlexDesk Windows Driver Error:
The ATI FlexDesk Windows Driver requires Windows to be run in 386 Enhanced
Mode. Select the Microsoft 8514/a driver to use your ATI 68800 video board with
a 286 based processor, or to use Windows Standard Mode. If necessary, Windows
Enhanced Mode can be forced by starting Windows using the WIN /3 command.
Press a key to return to DOS.
The driver only runs in 386 Enhanced Mode.
ATI FlexDesk Windows Driver Error:
The ATI FlexDesk Windows Driver cannot be started. No additional information
is available. Probable cause is insufficient resources or general
system failure. Please ensure system integrity and retry. If the
problem persists, contact customer support services with the following
error code: %1.
Press a key to return to DOS.
This message is issued in circumstances when an error is not expected, and the
explanation is *very* technical. The only code currently defined is 1, which is
issued if the DPMI mapping call for the aperture fails.
ATI FlexDesk Windows Driver Error:
The %1x%2 mode cannot be started. Please ensure that you have
installed the requested mode using the ATI 68800 INSTALL utility.
Your selected monitor may not be capable of operating in the requested
mode - if this is the case, run Windows setup from DOS and select
a compatible mode.
Press a key to return to DOS.
This message is issued when you attempt to start FlexDesk in a mode which is
not set up by INSTALL. This may happen because you have selected an
inappropriate monitor and the mode is not available with the current monitor,
or because you have not enabled the mode in custom installation.
ATI FlexDesk Windows Driver Error:
The ATI FlexDesk Windows Driver cannot be started. The BIOS ROM has failed to
activate the requested mode. Please contact customer support services.
Press a key to return to DOS.
The mode was available in the BIOS and seems to have been installed correctly,
but the BIOS ROM refused to switch to that mode. This usually indicates a
fairly serious problem (probably a ROM bug).
ATI FlexDesk Windows Driver Error:
The ATI FlexDesk Windows Driver has a problem reading or writing the aperture me
There is a compatibility problem that prevents correct operation on
your system. Try running INSTALL and disable zero-wait state RAM. If this
does not help, please install the standard Microsoft 8514/a video driver.
Press a key to return to DOS.
The aperture cannot be accessed due to read/write failure. This may happen on
certain incompatible hardware.
USE VAD=on.
ATI FlexDesk Windows Driver Error:
Aperture has failed or is not enabled. Virtual Aperture needs VGA to be enabled
to operate. Please disable external VGA and enable onboard VGA using the ATI
INSTALL program or install the standard Microsoft 8514/a video driver using
Windows Setup program.
Press a key to return to DOS.
The physical aperture cannot be accessed, and the virtual aperture needs the
mach32 VGA to be enabled.
