EGA/VGA graphics? Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.88 Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Is 43 or 50 line text mode supported? Or EGA or VGA graphics? Running "mode con:lines=50" with ANSI.SYS installed prints: Function not supported on this computer and running a program I have which switches to 50line mode and loads a nice font gives this on the xterm I started DOSCMD from: Tried to load and activate user defined font I also notice that my spreadsheet program doesn't even want to run in 80x25 text mode if I have it configured for an EGA or VGA (Unknown interrupt 10 function 30). It has to be setup as CGA. -- Regarding graphics, I wouldn't even ask but I saw a mention of VGA graphics by the -r option in the man page. Where is this supported: through emulation in X, or through console mode only, or not at all in the FreeBSD version? Mention of VGA graphics also prompts the question, are any EGA graphics modes supported? In sbasica, I notice that the CGA modes don't work (320x200x4 and 640x200x2), but they're useless anyway. 640x480x16, 640x350x16, and 320x200x256 would be much more useful. Thanks, Randall
