"Using the simplified segmentation model of 64-bit for segmentation support for 32-bit applications, matching what modern operating systems already use."

Strange. I tried with latest version of FileZila and WinSCP, and both failed. FileZila reported that the server does not support non-ASCII characters. If there's no problem on your side, it's probably because ISO-8859-1 is automatically applied. But that doesn't work for Asians :( Thank you for …

Very well, let's move on. When you wrote, that you tested it on 2 different CRT screens, that was already a good point against my theory, that the issue was related to an incorrect setting of the porches. This test was what I asked for, you tested it, and therefore I am thankful. If you have an urge …

The exclamation mark means that the ASUS driver failed to load. That is why you are using Windows xp's default driver instead. No way!?

I still think it is worth considering ... modifying ACPI tables in memory before booting Windows, rather than trying to hack or rewrite the ACPI driver to increase support. Now that's a very interesting approach. The biggest fear, which I had with ACPI was, that writing a new ACPI driver is such a …

Hi bakemono, yes, the Universal VBE Video Display Driver is a decent universal graphics driver. However, the VBE is dying because motherboard manufacturers are dropping the BIOS in favour of UEFI.
