Could you perhaps try to explain this a bit more? Are you saying that the card supports more modes than those listed below? What are they? How do these "simple VESA utilities" find these other modes? Are you sure that you're not also loading a VESA BIOS driver under DOS? I'm not aware of any deficiencies in our VESA modelist fetching code; I have, however, noticed that a lot of cards don't offer very good VESA support "out of the box" anymore. > mode# flags type size font window linear buffer > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > 0 (0x000) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 1 (0x001) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 2 (0x002) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 3 (0x003) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 4 (0x004) 0x00000003 G 320x200x2 1 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 5 (0x005) 0x00000003 G 320x200x2 1 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 6 (0x006) 0x00000003 G 640x200x1 1 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 13 (0x00d) 0x00000003 G 320x200x4 4 8x8 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 256k > 14 (0x00e) 0x00000003 G 640x200x4 4 8x8 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 256k > 16 (0x010) 0x00000003 G 640x350x2 2 8x14 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 128k > 18 (0x012) 0x00000003 G 640x350x4 4 8x14 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 256k > 19 (0x013) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x14 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 20 (0x014) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x14 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 21 (0x015) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x14 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 22 (0x016) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x14 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 23 (0x017) 0x00000001 T 40x25 8x16 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 24 (0x018) 0x00000001 T 80x25 8x16 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 26 (0x01a) 0x00000003 G 640x480x4 4 8x16 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 256k > 27 (0x01b) 0x00000003 G 640x480x4 4 8x16 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 256k > 28 (0x01c) 0x00000003 G 320x200x8 1 8x8 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 64k > 30 (0x01e) 0x00000001 T 80x50 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 32 (0x020) 0x00000001 T 80x30 8x16 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 34 (0x022) 0x00000001 T 80x60 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 37 (0x025) 0x00000003 G 320x240x8 1 8x8 0xa0000 64k 64k 0x00000000 64k > 40 (0x028) 0x00000001 T 90x25 8x16 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 42 (0x02a) 0x00000001 T 90x30 8x16 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 44 (0x02c) 0x00000001 T 90x43 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 45 (0x02d) 0x00000000 T 90x43 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 46 (0x02e) 0x00000001 T 90x50 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 48 (0x030) 0x00000001 T 90x60 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 112 (0x070) 0x00000000 T 80x43 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > 113 (0x071) 0x00000001 T 80x43 8x8 0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k > > -- > Rudolf Cejka (cejkar@dcse.fee.vutbr.cz; http://www.fee.vutbr.cz/~cejkar) > Brno University of Technology, Faculty of El.
