Hello, on my everywhere used configuration (config.sys and autoexec.bat), I noticed that pc player benchmark when ran at 640x480 quits with a error in german saying: "Fehler beim initialisieren des Linearen Framebuffers".
The program works fine if I do not use emm386.
That's my config.sys file:
[COMMON]
SWITCHES=/E:288 /F
DOS=HIGH,UMB,AUTO
BUFFERSHIGH=30,0
FILESHIGH=60
FCBSHIGH=4,0
STACKSHIGH=9,256
LASTDRIVEHIGH=Z
COUNTRY=039,850,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\COUNTRY.SYS
[EM]
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\XMGR.SYS /B
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS NOVCPI I=B000-B7FF
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\XMGR.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\DISPLAY.SYS CON=(EGA,,1)
[CM]
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\XMGR.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\DISPLAY.SYS CON=(EGA,,1)
EM loads expanded memory, while CM loads conventional memory only. The autoexec.bat is the very same.
I tried to:
1) load xmgr without the /b switch
2) remove the switches from the emm386
3) disable some bios things like video and system cacheable, some settings about the pci bus.
4) JEMM386
5) himem.sys instead of xmgr
Nothing of that helped.
Any guess please?
