------=_NextPart_000_0013_01C0636C.48A89740 charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable 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?
