[comp.windows.ms.programmer] Selecting ATI modes in Windows SETUP

umross27@ccu.umanitoba.ca (Chris Ross) (03/13/91)

I would like to be able to setup windows so that I can select from the setup
menu the driver to use for my screen resolution on my ATI VGA Wonder Card.

Simply put, sometimes I want 800x600x16 and other times 800x600x256 and
(rarely) 1024x768x16

Is there any way to tell windows that these drivers are all present and to give
me them as options from the setup display menu ?  Or, do I have to go out of 
windows and into my system.ini each time I want a different driver.

Thanks

There is an excellent article in PC-Magizine that explains how to set up
different display drivers in win3.
It is the Jan 15, 91 issue.
I can use set up to switch between VGA and SVGA.
