[comp.graphics] STB Powergraph S Vga

ron@vpnet.chi.il.us (Ron Winograd) (03/07/91)

Hello,
I have an STB Powergraph VGA card in my 386 'puter. All the diagnostics
seem to work, however I cannot get things to work in other software, except
for Windows

In cshow, which card do I select? There is no "orchid" or "powergraph" card.
The card, should be able to do 1024x768x16, although I cannot seem to get
it to view. So, how does one use this card with cshow?

In Delux Paint II Enhanced, I can select the orchid card, (which is what this
card is supposed to be compatible with) however whenever I try a super vga
mode, DP exits with "There isn't 512K on the video card" or some message
like that. There is 1 meg of memeory on the card, and 4 megs on the computer.

Any suggestions? Please, I'm desperate.
-Ron

There should be a driver that works for something called an STB EMM16+. Use
this one. I've got an STB card and it works great.
