Running Winstall with Command-line Parameters
---------------------------------------------
Winstall can be executed with command-line parameters giving the driver
resolution, colors, and font. This will install the driver which
conforms to the parameters given. Usage is:
winstall <resolution> <colors> <font>
If any parameters are invalid, Winstall will tell you which parameter
was invalid. A bad parameter either indicates that the colors or font
is invalid for the given resolution or there is a spelling error in the
parameter. Valid values for each parameter follow. Note that the text
for each parameter must be typed exactly as shown.
Resolution Colors (planes) Font
---------- --------------- ----
640x200 4 small
640x400 8 large
640x480 15
800x600 16
1024x768 24
1280x960
1280x1024
The selections for colors are actually the number of bits per pixel.
The following chart maps bpp to number of colors:
bpp Colors
--------------------
4 16
8 256
15 32768 (HiColor)
16 65536
24 16.7M (TrueColor)
Examples:
winstall 1024x768 4 small
Selects 1024 by 768 resolution, 16 colors (4 bits per pixel) and the
small, or normal, font.
winstall 640x480 15 small
Selects 640x480 resolution, 32768 colors (HiColor), and a small font.
