- Hello,
-
- I have written a BIOS patch for S3-based cards which sets the
- overscan color to ffh (instead of 0) whenever a VESA mode change
- occurs. This should get rid of that annoying white border when
- using the VESA 2.0 display. This is a 1k TSR.
-
- LOAD IT AFTER YOU LOAD THE VESA 2.0 EXTENSIONS (it might not
- work otherwise).
-
- I have also placed on the FTP site a FREEWARE VESA 2.0 extension
- for S3 cards written by Dietmar Meschede. This seems to work as
- well as UniVBE in Executor -- and it's FREE!
-
- Get these at: ftp://ftp.best.com/pub/coicles/programs/
- S3os.exe -- The overscan patch TSR
- S3os.txt -- A readme file for this patch.
- S3vbe301.zip -- VBE 2.0 extensions from Dietmar Meschede
-
- If you have questions or comments, please email me at
- coicles@best.com
-
- This patch also works with ARK logic based cards. Please let
- me know if you try this on another chipset and it works.
-
- I am still uncertain whether ffh is the correct overscan color
- -- it seems to work (it gets rid of the border, but if this
- should be another value, PLEASE let me know!
