Hi!

I've just installed GNU C++ on my IBM386. The compiler seems to work fine but
I have got difficulties with the supplied drivers. I've got a 1MB Trident 8900
SVGA-board but setting the go32-variable to either the TRIDENT or TRIDNT89
driver won't work at all: the screen goes blank and nothing happens, sometimes
the machine will hang and even CTRL-ALT-DEL won't work any more.
The only driver that will work is the standard VGA-driver which leaves me
with only the 320x200 resolution.
Am I doing something wrong? Or are there some other drivers available that
I could use?

Thanks, Stefan
