Hello, I have the following Problem using vpix with Interactive 2.2 on my 386sx with a Optima Mega 1024 (TSENG 4000): If i run vpix with VGAROM /usr/defaults/vpix/romvga the Phonix Bios msg appears on the screen the Vpix msg appears and then Strike F1 Key after the keystroke dos boots,but with a terrible Character-set,and an EGA-Resolution. In the other way, if i try ;VGAROM /usr/defaults/vpix/romvga (and ;EGAROM ..... ) the Tseng 4000 Msg appears :-) the vpix Msg appears :-) Missing operating System appears :-( Can anybody help me ? mfg Frank -- Frank Huemme 46 DO 1 email : frank@mute.ruhr.de

I don't think, I can help, but all I can tell you, is that I'm using the same graphics card as u, running ISC2.2 on an 20MHz 386 with Phoenix ROM. I comment the VGAROM and got beautiful EVGA resolution... My opinion: Either there's something wrong with your Motherboard or with your installation. Tried installing the MS-DOS part of vpix again ? Or a new vp/ix installation ???? cheers Wiljo

Tried installing the MS-DOS part of vpix again ? >>Or a new vp/ix installation ???? I have the same problem and commented out the EGA/VGA lines. Display and resolution is pretty and everything works fine. The only thing that doesn't work is switching to another virtual screen while working with Extended VGA modes 800x600 (or more). If you switch the screen then the virtual screen driver is unable to recognize and change the video mode correctly. BTW. I have an AMI-BIOS.
