Just wanted to add-in that the patched windows SVGA works in Windows 3.11 UNDER dosbox too. Just tried installing Windows 3.11 fWG under Dosbox - latest version. (Plain vanilla 0.73 version, non-CVS).
Mini Guide:
Step 1. - Install using the default VGA driver,
Step 2. - and when running Win3.11 normally under dosbox, go to control panel (or setup.exe out of the windows environment)
Step 3. - and choose one of the built-in svga driver modes.
Step 4. - Exit windows. (or the setup program.)
Step 5. - THEN overwrite the patched windows svga driver (svga256.drv)in the \windows\system directory over the original svga256.drv file.
And startup windows.
(Done this in my DELL Inspiron 6400 - Centrino Duo T5600, 3GB DDR667, Win XP Pro/Vista x64 laptop.)
Limitations : Only 256 colours (upto max of 1024x768 res.)supported since it's a patched version of the Microsoft's own svga256.drv file.
The link to the driver is in my signature below.
