-
- Here it is! The SuperVGA BGI driver you have all been waiting for! ;->
-
- This driver supports a wide range of VGA cards, and should work on
- all major brands.
-
- Card types supported:
- Ahead, ATI, Chips & Tech, Everex, Paradise, Trident, Tseng (both 3000
- and 4000 chipsets) and Video7.
- The driver will also work on video cards with VESA capability.
-
- I have not tested this driver on all these card types, so I can not guarantee
- perfect operation with your card. I have tested this driver extensively
- on Trident and ATI cards, and have had no problems.
-
- This is the first release, so let me know if you find any bugs.
-
- Modes currently supported:
- 0) Standard EGA/VGA 320x200x16
- 1) Standard EGA/VGA 640x200x16
- 2) Standard EGA/VGA 640x350x16
- 3) Standard VGA 640x480x16
- 4) SuperVGA/VESA 800x600x16
- 5) SuperVGA/VESA 1024x768x16
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- INSTALLATION:
- Using the driver in existing programs is easy. (If you have the source)
-
- Check the files INITSVGA.C and INITSVGA.PAS for examples of installation
- into C and Pascal programs.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- NOTE:
-
- - The mouse cursor may not work in all modes of my driver. This is because
- most mouse drivers do not support SuperVGA modes.
-
- - The registerbgidriver functions do not work. This is due to a limitation
- in the BGI kernel, which checks the linked in driver with a list of the
- standard BGI drivers (CGA,EGAVGA,etc..), and if it is not one of those,
- will not use the linked in driver.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- WARNING: The driver does not test to see if the card installed is
- actually a VGA card (If it does not detect a SuperVGA card, it treats
- the card as a standard VGA), so DO NOT use the driver if you do not have
- a VGA card installed.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- REGISTRATION:
- I have decided to make this first driver available free of charge,
- although donations would be greatly appreciated and certainly
- expedite the release of future versions. :->
