No, this isn't about Turbo Debugger 3.1 choking on 8514/a adapters in 1024X768 mode. It's yet another annoyance. I decided that I wanted TD in 43/50 line mode, so I set it in the configuration file. Right after I chose it, the mode changed and everything was fine. I leave TD and come back to it so that it tries to set the video mode from the configuration file and I get weirdness. The window on the screen *thinks* it's in 43/50, and sizes itself accordingly. Unfortunately my display is in a 25-line mode. So the cursor happily wanders south to somewhere near my contrast dial, well out of sight. I go back, select 25 line mode from the menu, and then select 43/50, and voila, the video mode changes correctly. Things work just fine at home on my Tseng 4000, btw. I'm hoping someone on the net might have discovered a solution, since the Borland Tech Support guy grumbled at me and said he'd report it, but something makes me skeptical. (Okay, I'll cut him some slack. It -was- before 7:30am in Scotts Valley when I called). But he didn't take any info. If there is a solution, I won't get it from them without another call. Any information would be appreciated. -Sean -- Sean C. Malloy - Texas A&M University - scm@tamu.edu
