This request is PC/VGA spesific, so if you don't have such a card, please jump
to the next posting.

As I was hacking through the (S)VGA card i did notice a undocumented a option 
setting of the Clock-select bits in the Miscellaneous Output Register. 
As I hav noticed this setting isn't valid for all VGA cards (perhaps only for
SVGA ones).
What want is that as many people as possible to try the program enclosed at 
their computer, and email me the result.

What I want you to do:
  (1) Uudecode the GRAFTEST.COM file at the end of this posting,
      or assemble the sourcecode enclosed (in case you would be sure that the
      program dosn't contain a VIRUS, that it of cource doesn't have)
  (2) Run GRAFTEST on you computer.
  (3) Send a mail to

        thaco@lise.unit.no

      answering the following questions:
       a) Do you see any colors at your screen?
       b) Does the computer 'hang'?
       c) What kind of graphic-card are you using?
       d) What kind of monitor are you using?
       e) Any comments?

NB:   This program could 'hang' your computer, so be prepared!
NBB:  It's normal to have a fuzzy picture on the screen.
NBBB: Please use the email address specified and NOT solan.unit.no.
      (I don't want to get my usual mailbox filled with 10.000 mails
       concearning this test.)


Thank you in advance!
