[Oberon] display of Toshiba Satellite 205CDS.

[PETER EASTHOPE]

Aubrey,

am> At the command line, run "debug"

Is that in DOS or Aos?  I learned to use objdump in Debian 
and was able to duplicate your output.  Thanks!

Folk,

Config.DetectVesa reports that mode 00000105H 
will work on the Toshiba 205CDS.  With the 
machine lacking a floppy drive, the mode can 
not be set by Config.Vesa in Oberon0 but the 
config strings can be set in rebooting.
Display=Displays.
DDriver=DisplayLinear
DMode=00000105H
Init=
DWidth=
DHeight=
DDepth=

[Mode 105H implies width=1024, height=768, depth=8.]

I've made a poor photo of the resulting display.

The system track is about half the width it 
should be, although the text appears OK.

The appearance is the same if I use mode 117H  
[width=1024, height=768, depth=16].

Before I plod further, does anyone recognize why 
the track or display is shifted or the display 
is scaled?  

Andre, judging by www.oberon.ethz.ch/display.html, 
earlier releases configured VESA by Init, DWidth, 
& etc. whereas in Native 05.01.2003 the configuration 
is simplified by using the DMode string.  So I wonder
whether some comments about this can be added to 
display.html.  A comment about DDriver would also be 
helpful.

Thanks,              ... Peter E.
