Well, the ET4000 is now properly detected and mostly running without issues.

The only weird thing left is that Windows 95 offers a 32-bit color option in the Display properties' rightmost page, while the DAC that's emulated only supports up to 16-bit colors?

The video DAC is properly detected by the WhatVGA software?

Is there perhaps an (partly) unsupported DAC at play in this case for Windows 95?

Hey, I bumped into this thread because my real life et4000 in a real life win95 machine behaves exactly like this: 640x480@16colors and 800x600@16 colors. Is there anything a normal user can do to improve colors and/or resolution? Is there like a modded driver? or should I abandon the idea of using Win95 and stick with dos?

Why not try the 'Standard SVGA' driver? In my experience it is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural....

edit: Also, is the driver linked on this page any better than the one already bundled with Windows?

Thank you. A small improvement: 800x600@256colors!

Which method? The drivers from the website, or the built-in SVGA driver?

Using a generic supervga driver
