Hello to all of the VGA-Gurus out there. I have a question about super VGA...
I just purchased a VGA card from Packard Bell called the PBSVGA. It
has 512K and is supposed to support the hi-res (800x600x256, 1024x768x16) modes.
The card uses a VGA chipset from a company called Oak Technologies. I am a little
new to VGA programming, but doesn't every super VGA chipset need to be programmed
differently (ie: register values and locations, port numbers, etc) when accessing
the hi-resolution modes? If this is correct, then I have another question, does
anyone out there know this information for the "Oak Technologies" VGA chipset???
I have repeatedly tried calling Packard Bell tech support and they keep
telling me that they don't have this information and that I should call Oak
Technologies. Then, when I call Oak technologies, they are quite rude and tell
me that Packard Bell must handle ALL end-user questions and that I have no
business calling them about it. I am getting very tired of this run around.
Thanks in advance for ANY help at all on this problem...
