Hi Allan,
I've developed a program for Windows using Grx, and I've been told that this program is running under XP without problems. The only difference with W95 is that XP is more slow, in general, and specially the bitblits.

Hello, all -
I am trying to port some grx programs to a new windows XP system, compiling with djgpp. I'm using the version of GRX that is on the djgpp site, namely 2.4.3. The test program comes up, but things don't look right; there's a squished rose, and the demo programs kick out without any visible action. Offhand, I suspect that the graphics mode is not right. (some recompiled grx programs run with some of the expected display off the screen, and circles flattened).
Before I try to spend serious time tracking this down, does anybody out there have experience running grx on windows XP? Any quick suggestions?

Mmm.. I supose you want to use the GRX DOS version, no the Win32 one, correct?. I think WinNT and XP doesn't permit DOS programs use the video card directly, only the limited VGA functionallity. What modes the "modetest" program found if you set "GRX20DRV=VESA"?.
