Hi,

use the vesatest.exe program to see if your video adapter is vesa 2.0
compatible and which resolutions are supported.

I start with "loadcepc /L:800x600x16:800x600 nk.bin"

The lowest resolution 320 x 240 is the only one that can use the normal 64Kb
video window in lower memory. This works with almost any video adapter. If
the requested video mode you add to loadcepc is not supported, then the
settings will default to that resolution.

I don't think your HP desktop has a MQ200 video chip. If you use the flat
vga driver for a CEPC platform, the video settings are passed by the
bootloader to the OS. Also notice that you need twice the video memory that
you might expect to need for a chosen resolution.

800 x 600 x 16 : you might expect 800 x 600 x 2 = 960000 bytes.

One line in video memory will be 1024 pixels long instead of 800

1024 x 600 x 16 :you might expect to need 1024 x 600 x 16 =1228800 bytes

For windows CE, you will need 4MB of video memory for this to work.

regards,

Luc
