mingw-gpc compilation fails
by Gábor Peintler 28 Nov '03

Hi, I tried to compile GRX 2.4.6 with pascal support threough makefile.w32, however, the creation of the executables from pascal sources was not successful. The compiler always said that there an unknown reference to WinMain@16. I used gcc3.2.3+gpc3.2.3. Does somebody have any suggestion?

(PATCH) BUG in u_egavga.c - Incorrect behaviour when installed DISPLAY.SYS to display non-Latin characters
by Eugene Yavorsky 10 Nov '03

10 Nov '03

Hello, all! SYMPTOMS: When loaded driver DISPLAY.SYS to support fonts with characters from non-latin alphabets, such as Cyrillics, Hebrew, Central European, Baltic etc., after termination of GRX application, localized fonts not loaded and international characters displayed incorrectly until manual reset video mode. This happen always under TESTED SOFTWARE ENVIRONMENT: OPERATING SYSTEMS: MSDOS 7.0, 7.1; MS Windows 95, 98, SE, ME; MS Windows NT, 2000, (XP?) DISPLAY DRIVERS: DISPLAY.SYS from corresponding DOS/Windows installation (or 32-bit analog for NT family) KEYRUS - available to me alternative device driver. CAUSE: Before terminating GRX application, this library always calls setmode() to restore initial videomode, which first invoke corresponding VESA function, instead of INT 10H AH=0, as expected (and supported) by driver. SOLUTION: Forced call to INT 10H to reload ROM fonts (this function superceded by driver DISPLAY.SYS and loads localized fonts). See code below. (P.S. Excuse my terrible English.
