Cirrus Logic Vesa Bios Extension 2.0 TSR (CLVBETSR.EXE)
Version 1.0 (7-30-96)
Overview:
CLVBETSR is a Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) implementation
of the VESA BIOS Extensions Standard Version 2.0. This particular
version of CLVBETSR currently supports the following
Cirrus Logic products.
CL-GD5436
CL-GD5446
SVGA graphic accelerators.
Installation:
CLVBETSR is installed by executing CLVBETSR.EXE
Successful installation is confirmed by a sign on message
which displays the date and version.
DeInstallation:
After installation, the Cirrus Logic VBE tsr can be disabled with
the command line option -D or /D. For example
clvbetsr -d
would disable a previosly installed version. A message is displayed
to confirm that the tsr is disabled.
Executing CLVBETSR when a disabled version is resident will reenable
the disabled tsr. A message is displayed to confirm that the TSR
has been re-enabled.

following changes:

Banked mode only.
4). Support for QUAKE Shareware v1.01 added.

Known Problems.
1). Loading the TSR high has resulted in page fault errors with
some applications.
Current solution is to load the TSR in conventional memory.
Please refer to your memory managers documentation for further
instructions.
2). You may encounter screen flicker in the following modes.
1024x768 4bpp 70Hz and 72Hz refresh rates in Banked modes.
1024x768 8bpp 87iHz and 85Hz refresh rates in Linear modes.
800x600 15bpp and 16bpp 72Hz refresh rates in Linear modes.
640x480 15bpp and 16bpp 60Hz refresh rates in Banked and Linear modes.
Current solution is to use CLMODE utility to set your refresh rate
either higher or lower to avoid problems.
NOTE: These problems are system dependent and could not be reproduced across
all platforms.
