1. Problems with Graphics Modes
Can anyone help me?
I have trouble with modes 261,259,257 & 256 (all hi-res modes) when
using graphics_mode() from graphics.e in DOS (haven't tried Windows)
I have a Super VGA monitor and card (I always use 1024x768 24bit)
Everything I draw to the screen appears in the top 1/6th of the screen and
'wraps' itself.
Is anyone familiar with this problem?
Thanks,
Aidan

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 problem with my Ati Xpert card. And use "use_vesa=1"
too.
hope this helps

The same thing happens to me with my ATI Rage LT Pro.
You could try using Pete Eberlein's vesa20.e for setting the graphics mode
(you won't be able to use draw_line(), ellipse(), polygon() or any other
stuff in graphics.e).

I have a MATROX Millennium and I had to load a TSR which I found on the
installation CD. use_vesa() has no effect in my case.
Have a nice day, Rolf
