- I tried installing the new et4000 drivers to support my Diamond Speedstar 24
- For the LIBPATH i used A:\ as the first entry and renamed the desired driver
- 7686.dll to display.dll, this way if i failed i could just boot normal. anyway
- I couldn't get the 6006.dll driver to work but... i did have 1024x768x16 and
- boy was it sweet!!! There is no comparison to "standard mode" some people
- might not like the icons and such, but it was just sooooo crisp! enough
- gloating already.
-
- I had to kludge it to get it to work and the second time it didn't workat all.
- The first time the monitor's sync was out so i was able to get to DOS full
- screen and use the Diamond utility VMODE to set the monitor freq. and after
- svga on i was set when i switched back to WPS.
-
-
- Question: Why wasn't this info saved? and why didn't it come up the second
- (and third and forth and ......) time? Is there a way to run vmode (dos full
- screen) before wps comes on? I am using one hpfs partition. (no fat here ;)
