TP 770 Screen Expansion

#1 Post by kobalt » Sat Feb 06, 2016 9:05 am

Hi all,

I'm having trouble with a 770 : I can't get full screen expansion working with DOS apps, in both DOS and Win98.
LCD is 1024x768, but when going fullscreen i get a rough 800x600 (or so).

- I installed TP conf utility, screen expansion is ticked but no luck.
- no option available in bios (i got more options with my 390X for instance).
- Tried 640x480, 800x600 too, in both 8bits and 16bits color depth : no change.

Tried to run an app on an external monitor plugged : in this case it works without problem, even in 1280x1024 !

Here is a picture showing what I actually get :

Any idea about how to get a proper fullscreen rendering ?

And depending on the app/game, I sometimes get a better fullscreen expansion, maybe related to app's resolution. For instance with Comanche, launched in win98 :

Thx in advance.
