[comp.unix.xenix] SCO on COMPAQ 386/25 with VGA

flog@norad.UUCP (Florian Gutzwiller) (10/16/88)

I lately tried to install SCO XENIX 386 V.2.2.2 on a COMPAQ 386 25Mhz
with a VGA Display. After I hit RETURN at the boot-prompt the screen
got garbled. How can I run XENIX on VGA Displays ? Can I change the
Display Adpater setup ?

Thanks

Florian

We use an Orchid VGA with Xenix 386 V.2.2.3 without any of the problems
you mention.  We're running on a AT&T 6386E WGS, but I doubt if that's
relevant; it sounds like the problem is in the VGA card you are using.

VGA support (EGA modes only) was added in 2.2.3.
