I have a problem with Tascbase 2.0 and my Matrox Mystique graphics adapter. a) The matrox DOS driver doesn't provide the 480x640 VGA-resolution at 16 colours! Programs like REBEL work fine (80 Hz refresh rate), but TB2 is displayed at lousy 60 Hz refresh rate (no VESA mode). b) The 800x600 resolution (16 colours) is a VESA compatible mode, but is not displayed correctly. The picture is shifted to the left within the video signal! So it is not possible to correct the position with the monitor settings. (The same effect can be seen with Scitechs Disply Doctor at 800x600 at 16 colors.) c) The program doesn't run in a DOS Window using Windows 95 (1024x768, 16 bit colour res.). My Questions: Has someone a solution for problem (a)? Is problem (b) a bug of my graphics card or is it a bug in the bios of all cards? Is there any possibility to run the program in a DOS-Window? I would be very, very grateful for some help.
