[comp.windows.ms] GENOA VGA BUGS

michaele@vice.ICO.TEK.COM (Michael Enkelis) (09/27/90)

Talking about GENOA vga cards.  I have gotten reports of bugs when
useing windows 3.0 in 386 mode.

The bug shows up in GENOA 5400 and 6400 cards when windows runs a program
that changes the current vidio mode, and then exits back to windows.
At that point either the system hangs or the screen image SHAKES.

I have seen the bug myself useing a 6400 card at work, and two other
people have also been hit by the bug.

One person reports that going back to version 3 video bios rom seems
to fix the bug on the 5400 vga cards.

I have a 5400 card myself, but since i only have a 286, i was not able to
check this out.
