Hi Tarquin,
The same problem exists with my wife's Toshiba laptop. Its graphics
card does not support the 512x256 mode adequately. It will try to
switch into 512x256 but only display a small part of the QL screen. In
theory, the notebook has a 'virtual' screen facility which should
allow it to be slided around the screen, in practice I haven't been
able to get it to work. I'm not sure (maybe Marcel will confirm) that
it's trying to use 2 PC pixels per QL pixel across and 2 or 3 per QL
pixel down, but doesn't have a 1024x768 or 1024x512 mode to properly
construct and view this QL mode. I suspect therefore that we are
seeing 512/800 of the QL 512x256 screen across, for example.
It's proving to be a bit of a pain, as I can't successfully run older
programs which write direct to the screen (i.e. insist on a 512x256
screen) on it.
If anyone knows how to get over this problem, I'd be interested to
learn about it too.
