I'm looking for information on 'safe' methods of detecting various types of video cards (primarily the manufacturer, and other neat info.) I mean safe as in reading the BIOS or a port before trying oddball INT 10h calls. I noticed that Fractint v14 autodetects many board types. Could someone send me the section of code that does that? (even though I'll probably have to get a book to decipher C.) I already have a 'safe' detection for the ATI VGA Wonder+ (I have the card.) This is for my Infoplus program. Some people have mentioned odd happenings on page 6 when it tries to determine the VGA chipset. Andrew Rossmann andyross@ddsw1.MCS.COM
