Hi (again), I am unsuccessful in setting my video display to 50 line mode. Probing the man pages suggests the use of vidcontrol. So, I tried "vidcontrol VGA_80x50"; I get the usage() display. I tried several variations of the above without luck. I remember getting a message about "??? unsupported in current syscon". What should I do to get 80x50 on display hardware which is capable of it? (i.e. OK under DOS) I believe that the vidcontrol executable is OK, because I was able to set it to the 320x??? graphic mode. It wigged out my screen (I needed to reboot) but it sure did move the display between modes. I would appreciate any help T.I.A. Joe Dusio (dusio@bytex.network.com)
