Has anyone successfully used the excellent dviscr screen previewer from
the emTeX package with the ATI Graphics Ultra in 800 by 600 mode? My current
PC has a Tseng Labs card, and dviscr runs on it in 800 by 600 mode. I will
shortly be buying a new machine and am seriously considering the ATI card.
However, I do not want to go back to only 640 by 480. The documentation for
dviscr does not say anything about ATI cards, or about the IBM 8514, which
the Graphics Ultra emulates. It may be possible to use a custom video mode,
but without documentation for the card and a computer to play with, I don't
know whether it is or not.

If anyone is successfully using dviscr in 800 by 600 mode on an ATI Graphics
Ultra, I would be interested to learn just how they made it work, and how well
dviscr works on that card. Thanks.
