As a matter of interest, who is using SVGATextMode with an S3 ViRGE and a
1024x768 capable monitor? if I try to go above 80x30, the characters on
the left hand side of the screen get all screwy, and sometimes the left of
the screen is cut off at the 10thish column and is repeated from there...
So I use LILO to give me 80x34 :)
Any Ideas?
