Could someone through some light on this topic: Increasing the
display resolution of
VGA monitor for 386 running SYS V 3.2.2.
I am trying to determine what it takes to increase the display
resolution of my 386
system with the following configuration:
- Runs SVR 3.2.2
- Uses a SVGA card from Cardinal Technologies (uses Tseng Lab chip)
that can handle 1024x768x16 (I chose this card because it
had least
noticeable display flicker; little did I know of SVS V
driver compatibility
issues)
- Running OpenLook 2.0 (X server supports 16 colors only, now)
Now I'm able to achieve 640x480x16 color resolution only.
I hear that the AT&T kd Driver supports 800x600 resolution only for
AT&T VDC 600
cards only.
What is the easist (least expensive) way of upgrading the resolution ?
- Are there SYS V compatible drivers available from other vendors that have
better resolution?
- Are there VGA boards/drivers for SVS V that can support better resolution
than 800x600x16?
Any info on this subject will be very much appreciated. Thanks in
advance.
