Subject: [9fans] escape from vga hell?
Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2000 09:57:39 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8hrjmo$di6$1@cnn.Princeton.EDU> (raw)
I wonder is it absolutely necessary to have an 8-bit VGA graphic system? I
know monochrome doesn't work any more, but I wondered if it would be possible
to write a driver for 16-color vga mode. If this were possible, it would
allow people to bring the system up on just about any hardware.
I might be persuaded to find the time to look at this, but thus far I'm
having trouble getting the system up. I have a Mach32 which worked very
nicely on the old system, but is no longer supported. I do have a Mach64,
but it complains thus: "undocumented linear aperture size" when I try to bring
it up. (2MB on the card, and I never got it working under the 2nd edition
either.)
