- I too use a Tseng4000 - and when OS/2 first arrived - I had troubles.
-
- No more...
-
- Just apply the VSVGA,VGA, etc. patches (available from IBM NSC BBS)
- and all those problems will be fixed. Next, obtain a SVGA driver
- (take your pick) specificially made for the TSENG4000 drivers (same BBS
- source). If the driver you pick leaves non-colored icons with big text
- (and general ugliness), write back and I'll tell you how to patch the
- driver so that the icons and text are the correct size.
