Anybody used the VGA Mode 'X' described in Dr Dobbs' July issue? Does it work on all VGA machines and monitors? I'm working on a game, and the square pixels and slightly higher vertical resolution seem like a real plus. I don't want to have a game that says it's VGA compatible when it's not. Seems like an undocumented mode could go unimplemented in many a VGA chipset . . . Along the same lines, I'd like to hear about the best/most popular/ and easiest to program sound cards for IBM PC's and Compatables . . . Thanks for any info, Dan -- Daniel Mark Gessel Internet: gessel@cs.swarthmore.edu
