  • Arca DOS video issues...

    From Rick Smith@1:340/202.1 to Sean Dennis on Tue Jul 21 19:33:44 2020
    Greetings Sean!

    21 Jul 20 13:20, you wrote to Don Lowery about an urgent matter!:

    Works in both Virtual PC & on bare metal for DOS & Win-311
    windows.

    Sounds good. OS/2 can be weird about drivers like that. I've found
    on most modern cards that SNAP works well enough and supports
    odd resolutions.

    I finally put arca on esxi server instead of running it on its own hardware and now it runs perfectly without issue... windows full screen whatever... I havent tried it with any other VM but its perfect on esxi

    Believe I have found a work around which works for me. Had to
    reinstall Arca the other night. Rather than using Panorama or the
    other "high performance" video driver...ended up using the normal
    GRADD video driver. Heading over to the Arca website...did the
    Yeah, I did that, too, but under VirtualBox. I just followed the README file for VirtualBox OS/2 additions with walk you through the setup for that step by step. Easy peasy :)

    Using the VB video driver (which Arca has included with the build)...had no problem at all in VB. Did the same thing with the standard driver & it worked.

    Which version of ArcaOS?

    5.0.5...the newest version. With this being the case...will have to see if VMWare has the same additions installed as well.
