Yes, thanks. Information reported by 0x4F01 function about any video mode has set MODE_NON_VGA attribute indeed. And now I have found DOS TSR program for VESA support... I hate VESA 2.0/3.0 specification :-( I hate ATI :-( Is there any good AGP graphics card with full BIOS support in hardware? -- Rudolf Cejka (cejkar@dcse.fee.vutbr.cz; http://www.fee.vutbr.cz/~cejkar) Brno University of Technology, Faculty of El.
