1. Sound cards
Hi
In DOS Euphoria mode... how to set and use a sound card in a DOS based
program?
I am also having trouble with graphics mode 259 (800x600x256)or is that the
correct one? it will display the first inch or so on top of the screen...
Thanks
Daniel

I have the same problem, on my old machine, in some modes. I think it's an
incompatibility issue, with the video hardware, and the Watcom graphics
routines.

There are several in the archives at http://www.rapideuphoria.com,
including Jacques Deschenes' Sound Blaster routines, a MOD player,
the Ecstacy sound system, and a couple of MIDI players.

Have you tried adding use_vesa(1) just before the graphics call? .

Someone please correct me if I am wrong but....
There is more than one version of VESA standards.
the Watcom drivers maybe using one of the newer versions.
the video cards in question may have one of the much
older ones.

Correct. Taken right from the Neil documentation:
The joke involving VESA/VBE usually goes: "the nice thing about standards
is that there are so many to choose from"

Same answer I made to someone a time ago: probably your card is not a true
vesa-compatible card. On the install disk that came with it, you may have
somewhere a dos TSR to call to put it in vesa mode. I had the same problem
with my Ati Xpert card, the TSR was something like "M64VBE.EXE". And use
"use_vesa=1" too.
hope this helps
