Here I go again.... Last night I was given a brand new Leading technologies VGA monitor and VIP (ATI) card for use on the BBS. Well, this Xenix version, as most you probably know dosn't support VGA, just CGA or EGA. (I called the dealer the monitor came from and am told EGA monitors are made any longer.) I hate to drop down to a CGA, as the graininess drives me up the wall, and I plan to upgrade to 2.3 in the future, but, can't right now as the bucks just aren't there. Scanning the /sys/io libraries, I've noted "hooks" for VGA in the libs in several places, possibly telling me that SCO may have the code in place, but not the driver. Can anyone conferm this in any form at all? I hate having a nice monitor I can't put to use anytime soon. Is it possible to create a /dev/vga and link it to /dev/ega? Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks in advance... scotty@ozdaltx
