Wow. That may be above my skill level (in fact, OS/2 may be above my level)=
. When I go into bios it states Speedstar hicolor version 5.00 from Diamond=
Comp. I take it that's my video card.=20
Among the floppies that I have with Warp 3 are two or three that say "video=
drivers" on them.=20

Odds are the video card you have supports standard VESA modes. Among them
are<br>
800x600, 1024x768 and 1280x1024. Most or all of these are supported by most<br>
flat panel displays, though using them on a widescreen display will<br>
definitely produce horizontal stretch that most people do not like. Flat<br>
panels that have 1280x1024 as native preferred mode are still available
new.<br>
1024x768 may be as well, maybe not new, but certainly used.<br>
IIRC, the Warp installation media contained drivers specific for the common<br>
video chips of the day, such as ATI, Cirrus Logic, Oak, Everex, Genoa, S3,<br>
Trident, Tseng and others. If my memory is wrong on this, then it should be<br>
Hobbes that has them for download now in zip files containing readme files
to<br>
explain how to install them. I was using Tseng 4000 when Warp 3 and Warp 4<br>
were new. The Tseng driver was a pain to install, but worth it.<br>
I suspect if you want any widescreen mode on a 486 ISA or VLB bus you're<br>
going to be out of luck. One exception might possibly be the most common<br>
currently available one, 1920x1080, which is one of the HDTV modes that<br>
originated last century. If you have PCI you should be in much better
shape.<br>
If you have a choice, you'll probably be best off if your video choice is
ATI.<br>
Maybe someone else knows if the Snap driver on Hobbes could be used in Warp<br>
3. If yes, it's the best way to go, and will support widescreen modes if<br>
using the right video hardware. Even this way, ATI is probably going to be<br>
the ideal, maybe only, choice, especially if you don't have PCI video
hardware.<br>
Knowing what the video card's main chip has printed on it will help you get<br>
the best help.<br>
