- I'm looking for some SVGA drivers for my Diamonds Speedstar card and
- windows 3.1. I have used several of the TSENG 4000 drivers but they do
- NOT fully support 3.1 features. The only video drivers that I've found
- to support 3.1 fully have been the drivers that come with windows, but
- these are only 16 color drivers and there isn't a 1024x768 driver with
- them.
-
- What I mean when I say "don't fully supoort 3.1" is this. In 3.1 you
- can use CTRL-ALT-DEL to abort a hanging app. If I press C-A-DEL when
- using the plain VGA drivers this functions normally. If I use the
- ET4000 win drivers or a speedstar driver, the system hangs when I press
- C-A-DEL, it doesn't even reboot.
-
- The other feature is ALT-TABBING from a full screen DOS app. This works
- using VGA, but not using anything else.
-
- Does anyone know of some SVGA drivers that will allow 256 colors,
- hi-res, and function properly under 3.1?
-
- Thanks,
- Brian
