Hi,
80*25 and 40*25.
So, there's a lot of cards out there that do 132 column mode. Back when
I actually used text-mode (in Linux), almost every machine I tried with
a PCI VGA card had some 132xblah video modes.
And, the VESA mode number are somewhat standardized. If you can select
a certain mode, you *do* know what resolution it'll give you. That's
the whole point behind the VESA standards.
As far as
I know there are no **STANDARD** PC text video modes
that give 132 columns.
What was *standard* for the time of these cards? ....I have a couple of Everex MicroEnhancer EGA
boards with a
boatload of additional modes....
So what? The OP needs modes which work on ALL adapters, not
non-standard modes
which work on a small number of Mickey Mouse cards which noone
uses....
He does? I'm sure that someone using Dave's VT100 emulator couldn't
decide that because they want 132 column mode, they'll spend some time
to figure out what works with their hardware, and specify it in a
config file somewhere. :(
