Hello
Currently my Win-OS2 full screen session (1920x1080) has a "slow-choppy" mouse and you can not move the mouse pointer down from the middle of the screen. (ArcaOS 5.1 BIOS running on a VirtualBox host. )
Hello again.
The author of "vbesvga.drv and vddvbe.386" wrote me back since he made some new releases of the driver, so I tried it all over again.
My issues of a Win-OS2 Full Screen session (1920x1080) with "slow-choppy mouse" and "middle screen limitation" are now gone. If someone on ArcaOS 5.1.1 (BIOS) (On VirtualBox host) experience that I would like you to try this driver and provide feedback.
The instruccions that I follow was:
- Download 0.6.0 versions of "vbesvga.drv and vddvbe.386" -
https://github.com/PluMGMK/vbesvga.drv/releases- Follow the install instrucions:
The following changes are needed to your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.INI file:
- In the [boot] section, change the display.drv= line to point to vbesvga.drv. You should specify the full path, or else copy the file to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM. (Note that if the path is too long, it can cause the CodeView debugger to crash on startup!)
- In the [386Enh] section, change the display= line to point to vddvbe.386. Again, you should specify the full path, or else copy the file to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.
- Added the following on SYSTEM.INI
[VBESVGA.DRV]
Width=1920
Height=1080
Depth=24
Remember that on SYSTEM.INI the comments the semicolon ( ; ) in case you want to revert things.
