I just got a Screamin 3d, and it's working great, I love i, but I was
wondering:
Do I now have the equivalent of a VESA 2.0 driver, and should I use
UniVBE?
I tried it in DOS and it said I had and Oak video card and Sir Tech
didn't have a compatible driver so no changes were made. Are you
familiar with this?
I'm normally not to bad at figuring out tech issues, but somehow the
video drivers thing gets me totally lost ;).
