Cheatcode VGA=
Posted: 20 Feb 2014, 07:47
Hello everyone,
in the first please excuse my very bad english. I'm an old man and I've learned English in school at 1979 !
I want do uses Porteus on various old Thin Clients just for fun, i.e. to make a webradio, controll AVR and ARM controllers. For this, i only want to work in textmode with gcc, fpc and tcl.
Porteus works very well (so a great thanks to phantom).
My problem:
On machines with very old graphics-adapter everything is fine. The textmode here is 640x480. On newer ones (the graphics-adapter is ATI Radeon 7000) Porteus is switching to maximum resolution so the output on screen is very very very small!
I've checked a lot twice and twice and twice.
I'm not able to reduce the textmode output resolution on booting to textmode.
No cheatcode (like VGA=771 for 800x600) is helping me.
Is there any way to do this?
I'm using Porteus 2.1 32Bit !
Thanks for help,
JJ
