I've not had much luck configuring Windows 3.11 with anything above 800x600 and 256 colours. I've tried various drivers, but with a fair few graphics cards emulated that should support higher resolutions and colours and lots of different drivers for each card, I'm not sure what's best. Can anyone suggest something, e.g. for 1024x768 at 16m colours?

Phoenix S3 Trio64 with 4 MB VRAM can do 1024x768 at true color just fine.

I thought I'd tried that. Is it in Win 3.11? I've seen that a lot of the cards do higher res/colours in Win95 etc than Win 3.11.

Just use the 1995-dated Trio64 drivers for win3.1x.

Ok, I'll take a look and report back, thanks.

I downloaded the only Trio64 drivers I could find, version 1.70.04. The highest it will do is 64k colours at 1024x768 - anything higher than that res is limited to 256 colours.

- teppic: You downloaded Trio64V drivers, you need the Trio64 drivers, not Trio64V.

Do you have a link for the right drivers? I can't find anything else.

Try this: http://www.video-drivers.com/drivers/113/113364.htm .

That's the same as the one I had. I found another one dated earlier, and it was the same limitation. I'm not sure there are any 3.1 drivers that support the higher colours/res.

- teppic: No it's not, the one you had was for Trio64V, this is for Trio64. And I've had both Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11 installed before, running in 1024x768 at true color.

That driver doesn't run at all (I guess it's for NT). But the 2nd one I downloaded last night was definitely for Trio64 and not Trio64V and it was limited in the same way.

You just need to click the zip link instead of the Download button. Anyway, reuploaded the English zip: http://citadel.ringoflightning.net/ENGLISH.ZIP .

And before you say it doesn't support 1024x768 at true color, let me quote from the included OEMSETUP.INF:

I was trying these, not just saying they don't work :p

This driver seems fine, thanks:

I'm not sure if there's a regression with this since I last tried. When I installed these drivers on v17 (tried a couple of machine types) on an otherwise totally vanilla set up, opening a DOS session in Windows locks up the emulated system every time. I tried it with and without emm386 loaded. I guess the switch to full screen DOS is causing it since the display otherwise works.
