Is that the one that appeared on comp.binaries.ibm.pc some time ago?
That one works fine for me with 640x480x256 and 800x600x16, but I can't
get the 1024x768x16 to work. I get a FatalExit somewhere in GetDeviceCaps
(I can try it again and post the complete FatalExit dump it that would
help anyone.). Seems to me like it's a software-only problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
