- Subject: SVGA ON does not work.
- Lines: 29
-
- When I go into a full screen DOS session and type SVGA ON I receive
- the following message:
-
- Error generating Clent: Requires VESA compliant BIOS
-
-
- What am I doing wrong. I have an ATI wonder XL with 1 meg of memory. I
- am currently using Joel's ver 1.0 drivers. I tried using the generic
- 800*600*16 drivers but I get the following message when I boot my
- machine:
-
- SYS0355 The Display mode requested is not correct or the VIO function
- requested is not valid for the current display mode.
-
-
- Again what is wrong with my system such that the only SVGA drivers
- that seem to work are Joel's original drivers? Should I be talking to
- ATI about getting an updated BIOS. Can one even upgrade the BIOS on
- ATI XL cards?
