Subject: Have you experienced "huge pixels" in 256 color mode?
Sender: owner-executor@nacm.com
Precedence: bulk
A few people have complained that Executor/DOS in 256 color mode gives
them a low resolution screen with huge pixels. We haven't seen that
over here, but I think I know what's happening. If you don't have a
VESA-compatible Super VGA driver (or you don't have a Super VGA card
at all), Executor will use the old-style VGA 320x200 256 color mode
because that's the biggest 8-bit resolution available without SVGA
graphics modes.
If any of you have this problem with 256 color mode on a Super VGA
board, drop me a line so we can figure out what's going on.
