I'd like to replace my EGA card with a VGA. I've got an original NEC multisync, and my understanding is that this monitor will not support the super-VGA resolutions. This will not be a problem for me -- what I'm after is >16 colors. I'm running uport's 2.3 console driver (I've got 2.4, but that wouldn't switch back into text mode from graphics mode.) Uport's 2.4 release notes mention a couple VGA's but it also talks about EGA-register-compatable... Rather than rely on the release notes, or take a chance that the board I buy would not work, I figured I'd post a query to see if anyone is using a VGA with their uport 2.[34] system. So, I would appreciate a simple e-mail reply saying "Company foo's model X VGA board works/does not work with uport 2.3/2.4" if you have had any good/bad experience with VGA cards and uport. I will post a summary of any responses by 11/16 -- thanks! Dave Bodenstab ...att!iwtmx!imdave
