Higher resolution of text mode on new video cards (Users)

posted by CandyMan, 21.07.2024, 16:47

Hello,

Some new video cards (especially NVidia ones) do not support higher resolutions in text mode. For example, my graphics card (NVidia 9600 GSO 512) does not "understand" resolutions larger than 132 columns. I have some signals that newer cards do not support video modes with a resolution higher than 80x25. They display the contents of the video memory in text mode as if it were in graphics mode. Has anyone encountered this problem and know how to work around it?

Maybe you can somehow set the high resolution text mode (e.g. by programming the card via PCI)?

Thanks.
