- Hi all, I'm trying to find some Chips & TEchnologies VGA/SVGA/8514a
- drivers. I've phoned C&T and they let me talk to one of the "agents".
- As it was explained to me, C&T is a manufacturer and just OEM's their
- video chips to others. Well, this appears to be my case. I have a
- PixelWorks Inc. (Hudson NH) WhirlWin WL1280 card that has a *whole*
- bunch of electronics on it, including a built-in C&T VGA pass-thru with
- (I think) a C&T 453 chip (hard to read) and a C&T 8514a pass-thru. Of
- course, it also comes with its own high end Cirrus 1280 x 1024 with two
- Brooktree RAMDAC's.
-
- Now the problem, PixelWorks is planning and workingon drivers for OS/2
- but won't say much about how the work is progressing.
-
- I have vision problems, which is why I have this card to begin with,
- and really need to get some higher resolution than 640 x 480 x 16.
-
- Does anyone know where I can find some drivers that would at least jump
- start the C&T VGA (with 1MB)????
-
- HELP!
