RE: [DOS] graphics problem
OH JOY! OH RAPTURE!
THANX, BRIAN AND BERNIE!!
I now have the best-looking widgets in town.
The dos driver indicated by brian works. It is a TSR specifically
designed to allow various ati ragepro cards to use the vesa standard in
dos.
The documentation details the advanced switches to use in various
situations. for my card, the switches 's' (for single-window only mode)
and 'vga' were correct. the 'vga' switch is a default so i didn't need
to actually type that. these switches are specifically documented for
problems with pointer devices.
running the program at the end of execution with the 'u' switch unloads
it from memory. if you don't want to load this driver every boot, i've
tested it in both bat files and as the first argument of a system()
call, and both work.
cheers
