Video 7 Vega Deluxe - Screen Is Garbaged |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A user has a Video 7 Vega Deluxe and cannot use the Video7 800x600, 16 color driver, as it is VGA. The Vega Deluxe is an EGA card, yet when the user selects the appropriate driver, IBM EGA, and exits WP5.1, the screen characters become distorted when he goes to another program. Manually selecting Fastwrite had the same results. Solutions: The Fastwrite Text driver was written for the VEGA VGA FASTWRITE. It will not work with the EGA Card. Upon exiting WordPerfect, WP sends reset information intended for the FastWrite card. When this information is sent to the VEGA EGA card, it sets the card in the wrong mode. WP does not support the Video 7 Vega Deluxe in VGA. It would require a specific text driver in order to use the 132 column mode the customer needs. Since the card is out of production now, it isn't likely WP will write a driver for it. |
