Problem with Trident/Windows3.1

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?


Regards,
