Posting this for a friend. Please respond by e-mail if possible. Thanks! Does anyone have any information on using a Speedstar Pro video card with the DJGPP GRX library? I'm having trouble getting the card to work properly. Since there's no card-specific driver for this card, I'm using VESADRV.VDR with the GO32 env variable. This fails to put the card in the target video mode (640x480x256). Then I tried using the UNIVBE TSR to force the card into VESA compliance. Now, the card gets into the mode I want, but the fonts are all wrong! Instead of printing letters to the screen, I get really weird stuff, which leads me to believe the card is trying to get its font data from the wrong place. Everything else (line drawing, box fills...) works just fine. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there anything I can do? -- +-----------------+----------------------------------- ------- ---- -- | Mike McAulay | Inspiration! Move me brightly!
