Hello there,
can anybody please suggest ideas as to why graphics mode 261 works ok only once
after a hibernation (or a restart) but subsequent runs of the program only display
a blank screen of the expected background colour (changes of which are displayed
correctly but no text or pixels)

My programs that use g-mode 261 always have a reset to g-mode(-1) at the end
(which i am led to believe is a good habit to get into).

The use_vesa(1) routine seemed to make no difference to this phenomenon.

In case it is relevant i am using...

  • an IBM thinkpad
  • Windows XP Professional (5.1 build 2600)
  • Intel Pentium M at 1.60GHz
  • 1526MB RAM
  • DirectX 9.0c
  • Mobile Intel 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset with Internal DAC type
  • 128MB memory
  • native resolution 1024x768

It is so thrilling to see the sharp graphics available in native resolution
and i would prefer not to have to resort to g-mode 18
(the highest resolution that seems to work repeatedly)

Big thanks in advance for any thoughts about this you are able to share with me
