I need help for my new Toshiba satellite 1620.
The problem is:
"graphics modes 256 to 261 don't work. I see everything comressed in the =
upper part of the screen".
I use DOS 6.22, Euphoria for DOS 2.0 (but 2.2 works the same). The =
notebook is equipped with CPU AMD K6 2-3d 475 MHz and 32 MRAM, graphic =
adapter is an ATI rage lt pro.
Toshiba does not support this PC in DOS, so I steel can't find an audio =
adapter (thanks Toshiba...), but I found a DOS graphic adaptor in ATI =
website wich should be OK for this graphic adapter.
I installed it, and I found:
  a.. my flight simulator now works well if I run it as if I had a "vesa =
1.2".
  b.. Euphoria mode 259 seems to work better (I read text more clearly) =
but I steel see everything compressed in the upper part of the screen.
An ATI utility says that graphic adaptor and LCD screen works up to 800 =
x 600 mode.
I tried to use "machine.e" library and the instruction use_vesa (1) =
without any result.
Of course the same Euphoria program works well when run on another PC.
Can someone help me?
Thanks
Franco
