I have a 386 with AMI BIOS and a Trident video board. At boot time the
video board tells me that it has a:

TVGA BIOS D4-131 Ver 1.03
  512k RAM    VGA mode
Copywrite (c) 1988, 1989 Trident Microsystems Inc.

I would like to run this board in 800*600*16 mode under Windows 3.0. To this
end I got a copy of the drivers kit pub/Win3.0/drivers/video/tvgawin3.zip 
from the cica mirror on monu6.cc.monash.edu.au.

When I install this I get a display that fills only about the middle
two thirds of the screen horizontally. Also, when I move the mouse around
it garbles the display.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, or point me at a good set of
drivers?

Thanks,

Tony
