[comp.windows.ms] ? 800x600 for Packard Bell Oak SVGA ?

UD180547@NDSUVM1.BITNET (Michael Mee) (02/17/91)

I've been beating my head against Packard Bell's tech support (sic) trying
to get their supplied windows 3 driver running on their "Multi-mode SVGA"
card, made by Oak Technologies.  This card seems to defy all other standards
quite succesfully.  The oak driver on cica doesn't do the trick either.

Has anyone been else been able to make this work?  What about a phone number
for Oak Technologies?  Any ideas why Windows Setup wants me to install ega.sys
after installing the supplied win3_800.drv?  (No it doesn't work, not with the
default emm.sys switches anyway).

I think I've covered the obvious mistakes, having successfully got other clone
SVGA cards running on other machines (and on the "Force 386X"), but, as always,
suggestions are welcomed.  (BTW, got the 'tweak' mod going with the Paradise
800x600 drivers, but the flicker makes it pretty unusable).

Cheers, and thanks in advance,
michael
