- /FHQ6: Does DESQview support Super VGA?/FB
-
-
-
- Yes and no. When DESQview is placing windows on the screen, it cannot
- use any of the 132 column modes provided by Super VGA cards. The
- smallest text font that DVC and DV386 provides to VGA+ users is 60 rows
- by 80 columns. Since video support is hardcoded into DVC and DV386,
- there is no way to write a video driver for Super VGA cards. DESQview//X
- does support small fonts, included fonts that scale automatically to the
- size of the window. DVX supports many, but not all SVGA cards (see
- below).
-
-
-
- Inside a window, any resolution can be used. The problem occurs when
- you switch away from the window and come back. DESQview will corrupt
- the window unless it has a resolution of 800x600x16 or less. Except in
- rare cases, DESQview cannot handle 256 colors at more than 320x200. A
- few cards will reportedly work at 1024x768x16 as well. Note that at
- these higher resolutions, ``Graphics Pages'' in Change A Program must
- be set to 4.
-
-
-
- The Quarterdeck White Pages, available on SIMTEL20 and DVNet /JB(see Q7)/q7.txt/
- discuss this problem in detail.
