Hi Wolfram! There was also some version called STM which is more tuned towards DOS than plain DJGPP svgatextmode port I believe, but I forgot the details. More tuned towards DOS? In what way exactly? When I ported this version, there was already some DOS support in the code. Alas, it

Switch resolution is in my association like in windows display settings where you can change it and not about lines. Whatever I do with mode, it switches the lines and fonts but it never switches the resolution directly. -

Well, I don't get really what program to use and what to enter to switch resolution? Have a look at the config file. If you are lucky, you will find a textmode there which fits your needs and works with your setup ('STM gfxmode'). If not, then there is documentation how to create new modes

I have a Sony Vaio PCG-C!VN laptop, which has a 1024x480 screen size.  I'd like to install FreeDOS on it, but the display is such that it leaves large amounts of unused black space on both sides of the screen.  Is there a way to set the display so that I can use the entire screen?

Hi! I have a Sony Vaio PCG-C!VN laptop, which has a 1024x480 screen size. Interesting. Made in 2000 but panoramatic ;-) I'd like to install FreeDOS on it, but the display is such that it leaves large amounts of unused black space on both sides of the screen. This is because C1VN's 1024x480
