Hello,

Some new video cards (especially NVidia ones) do not support higher resolutions in text mode. For example, my graphics card (NVidia GSO 512) does not "understand" resolutions larger than 132 columns. I have some signals that newer cards do not support video modes with a resolution higher than 80x25. They display the contents of the video memory in text mode as if it were in graphics mode. Has anyone encountered this problem and know how to work around it?

Thanks.

What are you getting back from VBE 3.0?
