Dear all,

I would like to ask the following to all Trident-9000 users:

Please run the SVGAHARD program that I attached below (uuencoded &
zipped). Note the results, post them either to me or to this newsgroup.
The program must be run in an OS/2 full screen session.

The SVGAHARD program is taken from the generic 800*600@16 driver file
written by Joel Armengaud. I just would like a number of Trident-9000
users the run the rpogram and report the results.
I think the results from this program should give an indication on
the problems that a number of people have in using the Trident drivers
in OS/2.

Upto now I have 2 different results (both from systems that don't work):

My own system:  	SVGAHardware.Adaptertype=6
			SVGAHardware.Chiptype=1
			SVGAHardware.Memoryy=1048576

Elipot Bareix:		SVGAHardware.Adaptertype=2
			SVGAHardware.Chiptype=2
			SVGAHardware.Memoryy=262144


Both systems use the Trident 9000 chip, but we get different results. The
Trident 9000 chip does not support more as 512k memory as far as I know.

I don't know what the result should be, but at least the results coming
from somebody who has a working system could be usefull.

Please run the program and post the results because I am desperately 
looking for a solution to the problem. Maybe the collected results
give the people at Trident or IBM enough info to come up with a 
solution to the problem.

Could this be one of the problems with an older AMI BIOS????? (March '91)
