Now that I'm using a machine with an ATI graphics card, I'm wondering if maybe use_vesa(1) should be the default. It's necessary for a lot of cards in SVGA modes. The thing I'd like to determine is whether there's a downside to making it the default. WATCOM provided very little documentation about it. Can anyone tell me if use_vesa(1) causes a problem with their graphics card? Try any graphics program that runs in SVGA (mode 256 or higher) For example, add: include machine.e use_vesa(1) at the top of demo\dos32\mset.ex in Euphoria 2.2. mset runs in mode 261. Thanks, Rob Craig Rapid Deployment Software http://www.RapidEuphoria.com

No problem on an eMachine (with ATI chipset, I think, & Eu2.1 ); in fact, as intended, with use_vesa(1) the mset.ex now displays properly on it.

ESC did not get me out cleanly, but this problem was common to both sets of code. The card has 8mb of SDRAM and is set under windows to run at 1024x768 True Color(32 bit) on a 15" Maxtech monitor. I would really like to see the results on a v7700 or some of the new geForces. Everett L.(Rett) Williams rett at gvtc.com

This is a point I mentioned some time ago. Maybe you could put it in the documentation?

Doesn't matter if I use use_vesa(1) or not, it runs anyway with my Matrox Millenium G200LE (8MBSD). Have a nice day, Rolf
