I have a VGA compatible card with extended modes but don't know how to access them. I would expect there are only a small range of defacto standards for these extended modes. Does anyone know or know where I can find out. In particular I am interested in using the 16 colour 800x600 mode. The VGA Bios is called "Eagle II VGA BIOS Version 2.12" and the copyright is held by Cirrus Logic Inc and Award Software Inc. I bought the card as "Magic VGA" with two small reference booklets and some drivers. I didn't bother to check that the booklets contained vital information such as what mode numbers are used for the extended modes and which standard modes they are extensions of. The "manual" claims the card is hardware register compatible with the real VGA. Please reply by email and I will post a summary if there is enough interest. Thanks in advance. Alan Finlay
