CPU: 80386-SX@16Mhz
RAM: 5M 80-ns SIMM
Motherboard: TI-SX
VGA Card: 16-bit 256K Oak VGA
Monitor: Mitsuibishi XC1429C (regular 'ole color VGA)
OS: Xenix 2.3.2 with xnx155b & app263 & VP/ix 1.01 installed
Mouse: Logitech Trackman

Problem:  Under DOS, I get color VGA as usual.  However, when I invoke
VP/ix 1.01, DOS assumes I have a monochrome VGA installed.  This is
frustrating since I can't see the colors of some applications.

I've ran some VGA checker programs and it returns saying that I have
a monochrome VGA installed, which is not true.

I've tried 'vidi vga', 'vidi v80x25' to no avail.

How do I get VGA color under VP/ix?

I've also ran some programs that uses color under Xenix with no problems.

Thanks for the help!
