DiscPassage for DOS
Version 1.4 January 1992
VESATEST
If no video driver works correctly with your video card, you
may need to load a VESA driver for your card. VESA is the
current standard method to interface to super VGA video cards.
Super VGA cards may have VESA built into the ROM (read only
memory) of the video card. Older cards require a TSR (terminate
and stay resident - a program which, once executed, resides in
your computer's memory) driver to be loaded in order to provide
VESA support. This TSR may be found on the distribution disks
from the video card manufacturer, or may be obtained from the
video card manufacturer directly.
To determine if a VESA driver is currently available in your
system, run VESATEST from the DiscPassage directory. This
program will tell you if VESA video extensions are loaded,
whether or not DiscPassage will use VESA for image display, and
if not, why DiscPassage will not use VESA. DiscPassage requires
that VESA mode 101h is supported in order to display 640 by 480
by 256 colors.
