Marcel, sorry to contradict again ;-) : uqlx can run a JS ROM in 800x600 without PE quite well. But whether that JS ROM then still counts as a "Standard QL ROM" after being runtime patched heavily by uqlx is highly debatable.... uqlx has a quite sophisticated (mmap-based) mechanism to detect access to real hardware - even by the OS itself. It then bails out to the host OS (I think, by patching Trap#x with Line-A-and-F instructions) and rewrites large parts of the (here: console) drivers through native code (that's the runtime patching). Don't know how you do that in QPC. But it doesn't expose Minerva's second screen for reasons unknown to me.

Yes, you're right. I already had the suspicion that Minerva was written cleanly enough to support different screen layouts (had to really, because of the dual screen feature). But that's the only case, no standard QL rom can support different resolutions without the PE replacing its CON driver. That I'm pretty sure of ;) Marcel _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
