A22p Display problems.. Help!

#1 Post by Khyron » Tue Aug 14, 2007 2:50 pm

After years of lurking.. had to register.. I've finally gotten hit with something that hasn't been discussed before.

My A22p's Hard Drive gave out a little while ago... to shorten the story.. ghost & restore was on dead drive.. CD case that says A22p stuff is empty.. get new HD.. downloaded drivers, install and it's almost good..

OS is win98se, and all the drivers are off IBM's site.

The problem is that the display is corrupt when I try to go to fullscreen DOS (Both text and graphics). It looks like the timing parameters are out of whack to the LCD. In text mode it would look like it's performing a newline mid screen, with some characters missing. The characters themselves look fine.
In graphics mode (320x200x8) it looks like what I would best describe as having a 60Hz ripple, like on bad TV's (or when filming a non genlocked source). with the occasional screen going berserk.

Alt-Enter back to windows and the desktop is fine. Now if I don't go into windows, and boot to DOS, everything is fine.
And if I install a set of drivers I got from DELL's website (slightly older) it also works just fine, but dual head & TV-out is all quirky.

So I'm wondering where I can find older Rage 128 Mobility drivers for the A22p. Or if someone seen this before and knows about a solution..

any help is much apreciated, thanks!

::BUMP::

Okay maybe someone knows where IBM stores older drivers??(FTP etc..)
Or can anyone confirm that they aren't having this problem w/latest drivers?
