Releases: PluMGMK/vbesvga.drv
v0.2.9
This release allows for starting up DOS boxes in windowed mode (instead of starting in fullscreen and then switching to windowed mode), solves the "green lines" issue with file sharing in WfW (more generally, any unmapped VRAM access from windowed / background VMs), and removes a bunch of Video7-specific stuff that had stuck around since the start of the project for no good reason.
I considered bumping to v0.3 due to the removal of the Video7-specific stuff, but I'll probably save that for an overhaul of ENABLE.ASM
I'm planning, which will add more helpful error messages and remove the need to manually specify that you want to use the 8-bit DAC.
v0.2.8
v0.2.7: Handle modeswitch in windowed VMs when focus VM is in VBE mode
This release finally allows for windowed DOS boxes to change their mode without messing up the main display!
v0.2.6
v0.2.5: Load `dacdepth` setting before `FindMode` to prevent boot failure
This release should fix boot failures on graphics firmware that doesn't advertise an 8-bit DAC
v0.2.4
This release should fix blank screens when using bank-switched modes in VMware and possibly other hypervisors / hardware.
It also removes int 3
instructions in ENABLE.ASM
and VESAFNS.ASM
, which were helpful for debugging but sometimes caused Windows to hang on boot!
v0.2.3: Fix finding linear modes on pre-VBE3 firmware (e.g. VMware)
This version should correctly use Linear Modes (and hence Double Buffering) on VMware Workstation, and possibly other hypervisors / emulators.
v0.2.2
v0.2.1
v0.2.0
This release contains several fixes in VBESVGA.DRV
, including initial support for RLE bitmaps, and VDDVBE.386
now supports toggling between windowed and fullscreen DOS boxes, at least in some cases.
This also includes the VIDMODES.COM
tool to help figure out what video modes are supported by your system.
