- I bet you run into a very simple problem. On the new Mach32 based
- boards the onchip SVGA and 8514/A share the same video memory. There
- is a setup option in the install programm which let's you set this.
- You should set the video ram for the VGA to 0. Then the 8514/A has
- access to the whole video memory starting from location 0.
