About OS/2 and the Matrox Millennium and cursor.

Ok so, when I installed the drivers on OS/2 Warp 3 (original Millennium 2064w, not anything later), it appeared that the icons transparency is somewhat broken, for example, when the icons are not clicked, they have a strange blackness around them instead of the normal pattern-like appearance seen in...

fbitblt glitches under win9x using the millennium

Are we even sure the Fbitblt command is implemented correctly in the Matrox Millennium? I mean, it shows upside down windows under win9x while moving them, mainly in the login screen and after. I know it can be reproduced on any machine, both i430fx and non-i430fx, win9x (Win95/98/ME), using known d...

Quick question about double word mode on virge

Why is it not like the trio64 on the github repo? I mean, the manual of the virge clearly says the same as the trio64 about double word mode.

Re: [Patch] New VHD support... now with added dynamics

Just tried NT, first part of installation can be done normally, but during boot, I get gibberish during ntldr or unknown hard error on the dynamic VHD I'm using, this doesn't happen with fixed size VHD or plain RAW.
Note that the file system is FAT16, not NTFS, of the dynamic vhd I'm using.

Re: Configuring AMI 386dx bios for CD

I believe your driver is asking for a SCSI card in this case, especially that atapi wasn't a thing in 1993.

Re: [Bug] Microsoft Memphis build 1351 BSoD

Starting Windows 9x setup (be it prototypes or finals) from DOS is normal practice... And no, betas don't suck because they are buggy, they show you the evolution of what was in development, if you say that they suck, you'll likely say that finals suck and don't try them as well.

That "SCSI" boot sequence in the cmos means that the bios in question has got SCSI support only for a NCR/LSI 53c8xx adapter.

If memory serves me right it was specific to a certain driver and reverting to an earlier one, fixed it.
Driver version of the earlier one? I'm curious.

Well, I know, WIP, so it's still early, but are the official and latest Matrox Mystique PCI (1064SG) drivers from 2000-2002 compatible on PCem under Win2000/XP? In the sense, here upon reaching the desktop, it fatals with Mystique busy in the blit.
Happens on any PCI-based machine of course.
