generic vga - ce 4.1

Hi,

I require a generic vga driver for a wince 4.1 x86 platform. As an example,
CE 3.0 had such a driver: vga8bpp but it is not sipped with 4.1. Can this
driver be used in 4.1? Is there a current version of same? If so, what's
the proper way of adding it to the image build?

Thanks

Have you tried the vgaflat driver?
What graphics chipset are you using?

There is no current support for non- VESA2.0 hardware.
The old V3.0 driver should be able to move up toV4.0 with minimal effort.

Boyd,

It's possible to port the 3.0 vga8bpp to CE 4.x, but you should only do that
if your video card doesn't support VESA 2.0. The flat driver in CE 4.x is
called ddi_flat (I think it's "VGA Flat Driver" in the catalog), but that
driver requires that your video card support VESA 2.0. On the standard CEPC
boot disk there is a program called VESATEST that will show you what version
of VESA your card has, and what resolutions are supported. Also, the
ddi_flat driver uses the /L option from LOADCEPC to set the resolution
(something like: "/L:800x600x16").
