Configuring unsupported adapters
If your graphics adapter is not on the list of supported adapters
and is not compatible with the
VESA
driver:
-
Check your adapter's documentation to see if
it is compatible or uses the same chip set as
a supported adapter.
If your adapter is compatible, select the supported adapter.
-
If your adapter is not compatible with one of the supported
adapters or chip sets,
try selecting the IBM VGA adapter
using 640x480 with 16 colors.
This will usually get your
graphics system up and running, but it does not provide access to
higher resolutions or any enhanced capabilities of your graphics
adapter.
NOTE:
You may also be able to adjust an existing grafinfo file
to fit your graphics adapter. However,
if you copy a compatible grafinfo file and try to adapt it,
you may have to supply details about your adapter not commonly
found in adapter user documentation (for example, the coordinates of
off-screen memory).
Further information about developing graphics drivers and
grafinfo files can be found in
Developing NFB graphics adapter drivers, which is
included with the Hardware Development Kit (HDK).
