DiscPassage for DOS
Version 1.4 January 1992
Specifying the Video Card Type
DiscPassage will try to detect the type of video card in the
system and supply the appropriate video driver for displaying
graphic images. Use the "-v<video card type>" option to
override the card which is detected and substitute one from
the list below. For example, if the graphics did not
display properly, and the user knew that a Trident video
card was installed in the system, the command "dp -vtrident"
would start DiscPassage, overriding the autodetected card,
supplying instead a video driver for the Trident card.
The video card types which can be use as command line options
are listed below:
vesa
tseng (STB, Orchid, Genoa)
tseng4 (Orchid)
paradise (Western Digital, AST)
video7 (Video 7, Headland, VRAM, Fastwrite)
trident
everex
ati (ViewPerfect, ViewSonic)
chipstech (Chips and Technologies, Cardinal)
aheada
aheadb
genoa
zymos
oak
tecmar
stdvga (standard vga, 360 x 480 x 256 color)
mode12 (monochrome)
mode13 (standard vga, 320 x 200 x 256 color)
textonly (no graphic display - may help with EGA)
To display the list of currently supported cards, enter the
command "dp -vall" at the C: prompt.
Graphics Display - VGATEST
If graphics images do not display properly, there are two test
programs in the DiscPass directory which may help. To run
the first, enter the command "vgatest" while in the DiscPass
directory. VGATEST displays a message which tells the video
card type which is detected. Use the video card command line
option (see explanation above) to try out different video
graphics drivers. The -v option can be used with both the "dp"
and the "vgatest" commands.
