Hi guys. I'm having a little trouble with my 386 build. In Commander Keen I get display corruption in some areas - it's on and off, and it "sticks" to one part of the level. It looks like this:

Here is a short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yakG65n7Aw&feature=youtu.be

I tried the card on two different systems - One Morse KP-386C 25Mhz intel 386 + 387 co-processor / Creative SB Pro 2 and the other is an AMD 33MHz 386SX ( soldered onto the motherboard ) with a intel 387 (weitek socket) co-processor. What could be causing this? All VGA games work fine.

I did not mess with any jumpers or switches since they are not silkscreened and I don't have a manual for the card.

According to gona's list http://gona.mactar.hu/DOS_TESTS/ the PCI Tseng ET4000/W32P doesn't work with Commander Keen (4, 5 and 6). I wouldn't expect the ISA variant to do better. Interesting since the ET4000 should be well supported.

Turn on the "SVGA Compatibility" option in the menu. That's exactly the problem that option addresses.
