[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Using VGIF in 640x400x256 mode

rassilon@eddie.MIT.EDU (Brian Preble) (04/16/89)

I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to get VGIF to work with my Everex VGA
card in the 640x400x256, 640x350x256, and 800x600x16 modes.  Has anyone
had any luck with this?  The best I've managed is 640x400 with the entire
picture being written over itself in the upper fourth of the screen.

Don't use VGIF, look for VGIC15.(pak,zip,arc) on your local BBS. If you 
can't find it locally, request a file attach from your sysop, and I'll 
download it to the local hub. VGIC is similar to VGIF, except it is 
configurable for various video cards and in display mode.

:YEs, I have been able to get it to work in 640x350x256 and it looks great.
      I have seen the difference it makes between that and EGA modes, and
      I oculdn't believe it.  The picture I used was an orangutan and it\
      could very well have been a picture.  So yes, it definitely works.
