Hello, I have a Trident 1Mb video card ( 8900C chip with BIOS version C2.11 ) I have installed the 1024x768 (256 colour) Trident video driver for windows and it works fine when running the video card in interlaced mode, but when I try to use the non-interlaced mode (by removing jumper sw3) things go crazy. Initially, after starting windows, the screen appears completely normal. Then after a few more seconds the entire screen redraws with different colours (looks as if a red filter was put in front of the screen). A few more seconds later the colours change again. After about 4 changes it settles down but the colours still look like I am viewing through a coloured filter (e.g. no more white). The video card and monitor work fine at this resolution using the Trident mode test utility, it seems to be only the windows driver. I have tried several versions of this Trident video driver for windows and they all behave the same way. My machine is a 386DX running MSDOS 6.2 and Windows 3.1. No special cards or software. Has anyone seen this before?
