Re: S3 Virge drivers + Win 3.11 + High Res modes heavy glitc

I tried all modes provided by that driver, just like the one you highlighted. None of them worked. Windows' built-in SVGA driver would throw an error when restarting.
Can you post your system.ini please?

Re: cdrom-ioctl.c: #ifndef __MINGW64__ still necessary?

Noticed alut missing as well. Thanks for clarification. Might not be a bad idea to enhance related code sections using

__GNUC__
__GNUC_MINOR__
__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__

Makes compiler choice more flexible without having to manually modify those sections on every single update.

Re: S3 Virge drivers + Win 3.11 + High Res modes heavy glitc

Weird, thanks for enlightening. Might have something to do with screen timings or related. I suspect that because Win 3.11 + Mach 64 GX does have similar, but only short glitches when switching screen modes. Their driver allows hi-res true color if you select a 75 Hz VESA screen in it's screen adjus...

Search function too restrictive?

Before posting my recent S3 virge post I tried to search for past posts might having the same or similar issues. All strong terms where rejected as being too common: windows, driver, glitch, issue, virge, etc. Such restrictions don't help much to avoid duplicate posts. Could restrictions be lowered ...

cdrom-ioctl.c: #ifndef __MINGW64__ still necessary?

Throws a compiler error with rather up-to-date MSYS2/MinGW64 and 32 bit shell. Compile works fine and binary as well if I comment out the whole #ifndef block for _CDROM_TOC_SESSION_DATA. 64 bit shell compiles without error. MSYS2 used was from Battler found somewhere here in the forum and then updat...

S3 Virge drivers + Win 3.11 + High Res modes heavy glitch

I experience heavy issues with Win3.11 and S3 Virge/DX using S3's drivers (http://www.s3graphics.com/en/drivers/legacy_software_archive.aspx#id_375drv) when selecting high res modes(>=800x600), regardless of color depth. Almost fully black screen and little red stripe at the top with glitches. See a...
