Note 7393.0                 Windows 95 S3 924 driver?                 No replies

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Is there a Windows 95 driver for the S3 924 chip? 
    
    A customer has a  DECpc 433 MT that looses itself when a you open 
    a DOS session in a window. The screen get garbaged all up. 
    
    They also have one other app called REACHOUT
    that gives the same results. 
    
    
    I searched the PCBU web site for DECpc MT and found only 1 thing. THen
    I searched for S3 924 and found only a Windows 3.1 driver. I also
    searched S3's web site and found no Windows 95 driver for it.
    
    Is this customer out of luck? 
869.28Newer card... it's time!JULIET::HARRIS_MANetworks Sales ExecFri Mar 21 1997 16:457
    I don't think so. Even www.s3.com only lists Windows V3.x drivers dated
    15-Jan-96 as the latest drivers available. Perhaps they'll work under
    W95, but they make no mention of it.
    
    I'd think about getting a newer video card...

    What video mode the customer uses?
    Does the same problem exist under VGA mode?

869.3016 color worksSCASS1::GRESSMon Mar 24 1997 12:4112
    The customer uses AUTOCAD so he has the resolution set 1024x768. I have
    set it at 640x480 and it still get the same results. I can set the
    color to 16 colors and it works fine. Anything above 16 colors will
    fail. I can do an <ALT><ENTER> to switch from a DOS full screen and
    back to a windows and then it works. Wierd hugh. 
    
    The customer really needs the remote application REACHOUT to work and
    this DOS session it the only thing that gives the same problem that
    REACHOUT gives. That is why I am trying to get to a DOS session with no
    video sync problems.
