VBE-driver bug?
Look at this:
[ external image ]
That's how ReactOS looks for me with vbe standard settings ...ugly...
However setting the resolution to 1024x768 makes it look good again.
So is this a bug of the vbe driver or is it just me who gets this?
P.S. Entering something in a commandbox is hard without seeing what you type

I remember something like this with NeoPaint 3 (DOS program, see history book ) with .. i think it was an oak vga card (ISA) .. in 15 and 16 bit color modes...
Are tou using a hi color display mode ?

As I said, this is only with standard-settings of the vbe-driver. I don't know exactly, but I think the standard resolution is 640x480x8bpp (256colors).A-v-S wrote:Are tou using a hi color display mode ?
btw. I'm using a Geforce MX-440 SE and I never had such problems only in current svn builds of reactos.
I have use the vbe driver on ati readon Mobility in res 640x480 to 1024x768x32 it works fine on my laptop.
Now to the problem all graphice card have build in update freq for each reslution and it does not exists a vbe 2.0 standard to change the freq.
If the monitory does not support the build in freq from the graphice card.
it will hapen werid thing on the monitor screen. LIke the screen shot you did show. Try a anohter reslution. On my oldes monitior it can not handle 800x600 from the vbe driver. becase the freq are not support for that res from the graphice card.

Hi!
could someone tell me how I can change the resolution?
Is it already possible to change the resolution of a running system?
(if not that's no problem. I've got a working build environment)
thanks!
EDIT: I've just found the thread http://reactos.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=572 which solved my problem.

There's one simple reason why the livecd doesn't show this bug: _it doesn't use the default resolution_dark wrote:I have the color problem too, i also had it with 0.2.6-RC2, it happened on the install disk, but not the live disk for RC2, I haven't tested the 0.2.6 live disk, nor am I planning to. (If i try to change the resolution or color depth it will just tell me changing that is not in reactos yet.)
The graphic card shouldn't be the problem, if it doesn't support the chosen resolution then the driver should automatically switch to a lower supported one, shouldn't it?RomanH wrote:since the problem (i've got it as well) is only at 640x480x8 maybe the default resolution should be set to 800x600x8 until the problem is solved. Or is there a reason why this would be a bad idea? I'm pretty sure that even my 486 had a graphics card that could handle such a resolution.
However there could be a problem with old monitors. I could imagine some of them don't even support 800x600
