| I have just recently obtained djgpp and installed it on my pc. I also
| obtained the libgrx graphics and installed them on my pc. I installed
| these according to the directions and checked this several times and on
| several pcs. When I compile any of the graphics test codes with djgpp or
| libgrx they compile successfully. However, they don't appear to send
| graphics to my screen and often crash the computer. I figured this was a
| problem with the graphics driver specification. I have a Trident 8900C
| chip with 1M. I have tried setting the driver in the GO32 variable to
| all of the trident drivers, and I have tried using all combinations
| options to this variable. I have also tried using the plain EGA, and VGA
| drivers with various options. I have also not set the go32 environmental
| variable. I have also done similar attempts on other machines with other
| graphics drivers. I feel that I am missing something fundamental. Has
| anyone had similar experiences or can anyone offer any sugestions.

I don't know if this will help you but ... I have a Trident 8900C and use
libgrx. My GO32 environment variable is:
GO32=nodpmi driver c:/<my path>/tr8900.grn gh 600 gw 800 th 25 tw 80 nc 256
This works fine for me. Note the use of `nodpmi' in my case because I use
386MAX.
Hope this helps,
