I suspect this has been asked and answered numerous times, but until uport
sends out newsletters to registered users, how else to find things out?
Does Microport support VGA's? I remember hearing somewhere that they had
no plans to, but I found that hard to believe and still do, what with IBM
no longer making EGA's. Seems too short sighted for a smart company. Indeed
if they plan on letting anyone ever do an X windows platform on it, EGA
resolution would be awful (yes, I know "standard" VGA isn't much better,
but my point stands).
I LOVE my Orchid ProDesigner Plus, and can't stand the thought of having
to part with it because my Microport can't (won't?) deal with it. Gosh,
at least the bootstrap could set the card up for EGA instead of always
running native.
