  10. Dear all,
  11.  
  12. I would like to ask the following to all Trident-9000 users:
  13.  
  14. Please run the SVGAHARD program that I attached below (uuencoded &
  15. zipped). Note the results, post them either to me or to this newsgroup.
  16. The program must be run in an OS/2 full screen session.
  17.  
  18. The SVGAHARD program is taken from the generic 800*600@16 driver file
  19. written by Joel Armengaud. I just would like a number of Trident-9000
  20. users the run the rpogram and report the results.
  21. I think the results from this program should give an indication on
  22. the problems that a number of people have in using the Trident drivers
  23. in OS/2.
  24.  
  25. Upto now I have 2 different results (both from systems that don't work):
  26.  
  27. My own system:      SVGAHardware.Adaptertype=6
  28.             SVGAHardware.Chiptype=1
  29.             SVGAHardware.Memoryy=1048576
  30.  
  31. Elipot Bareix:        SVGAHardware.Adaptertype=2
  32.             SVGAHardware.Chiptype=2
  33.             SVGAHardware.Memoryy=262144
  34.  
  35.  
  36. Both systems use the Trident 9000 chip, but we get different results. The
  37. Trident 9000 chip does not support more as 512k memory as far as I know.
  38.  
  39. I don't know what the result should be, but at least the results coming
  40. from somebody who has a working system could be usefull.
  41.  
  42. Please run the program and post the results because I am desperately 
  43. looking for a solution to the problem. Maybe the collected results
  44. give the people at Trident or IBM enough info to come up with a 
  45. solution to the problem.
  46.  
  47. Could this be one of the problems with an older AMI BIOS????? (March '91)
  48.
