Hi! I bought a PC recently and now found that the text screen (25x80) and
the graphics screen (800x600) are not aligned with each other. The
phenomena is like this: if I align the text in the middle by adjusting the H-
Posi switch and then enter the graphics mode, then the graphics display
will be about 1 cm right, leaving a black strip on the left side of the
screen; if I align the graphics screen, and exit to text mode, then part of
the text will be off screen to the left.
My guess is that if you can align the greyish background (you get it by
turning the contrast switch) in the text mode, the problem could be solved.
But can I do it and how?
Any information and help would be highly appreciated.
