Hi all,

I'm new to djgpp and have a problem with graphics. In short: It won't
work.

My config: 386-33, 8Mb, Trident 8900 1Mb.

When I tried to run the sample program ESCAPE, I get no graphics. The
screen turns white and after I've pressed I some keys it returns to DOS
text mode with the colors tweaked. 
I hacked the program to print out the MaxY() and MaxX() results at the
beginning of the code and they both returned -1 (Not good, right?).

I used the following settings:

set go32=drivers c:/pgm/djgpp/drivers/trident.grd gw 640 gh 480 nc 256
emu c:/pgm/djgpp/emu387/emu387


...all on one line (of course).

I even tried the tridnt89 driver with the same result.

When I examined the drivers directory I found that the files were about
200-300 bytes in size, is that OK? It seems a bit small to me.

Thanx for any help,

Anders
