- I don't know what to say to you guys with Tseng-based video, but I can say
- with some certainty that a) I have this problem too, and b) it's to do with
- the contents of SVGADATA.PMI. I have one which gives me nice clean
- fullscreen sessions, DOS and OS/2, but leaves a broad border up to 3cm wide
- around the desktop, and I have another which I generated with TVGACRTC (
- Trident's size/position utility) and SVGA that gives me a nice fullscreen
- desktop with minimal border, but loses sync with fullscreen OS/2 sessions.
-
- There must be some peculiar relationship between the values that TVGACRTC
- generates, and those that SVGA records. I've wasted dozens of hours on this,
- and I'm still not happy. I would be extremely annoyed if I needed FS OS/2
- for anything... still waiting for a substitute Trident card to try a
- hardware solution.
