[comp.unix.xenix.sco] VGA DOS APPS ON XTERMS W/SCO

burroak@convex.cl.msu.edu (newell franks) (05/02/91)

I am trying to find a way to run dos VGA apps. on an xterminal.
My xserver is a AST486/33E running SCO OPEN DESKTOP and my xterminals are
HP700X's. So far I've only been able to run CGA. The VGA apps. that I would
like to run work ok on the console via the ZOOM option, but the xterms don't
have that option. The screens on the xterms are 1024x768. Any help would be
greatly appreciated. Please send E-mail to burroak@convex.cl.msu.edu.

Thanks in advance,   Jeff

I don't suppose replacing your X terminal is an option? :-)
The SunRiver Xcel terminals have a builtin VGA controller to
do exactly what you are talking about: full-screen VGA (works
with DOS Merge or native UNIX apps), with multiscreens.
