192.0. "? GCADRIVER patch for VR100 ?" by MUNCSS::KOETHE (Manfred Koethe CSS SW Engineering Munich) Tue Feb 14 1989 06:25

    Is there any way to patch the GCADRIVER to initialize the video
    controller chip on the QVSS the same way as the VWS VCDRIVER does
    when TTY_DIALTYPE = 0 ?  This would avoid the oversized screen image
    on an otherwise perfectly working VR100 (connected to a MicroVAX II
    via QVSS).
    
    Thanks in advance,

My personal opinion is, the VR100 was never SHIPPED with the VSII, so therefore
the default behavior should be that for the VR260, like it currently is. A
"feature" has been provided to make the hybrid system work.

    re .1
    
    This is true. However, my hybrid station is the result of a piece
    by piece upgrade from a VSI. In the near future I see no way to
    exchange the monitor.

192.3Try setting TTY_DIALTYPE=64GOFER::HARLEYAt home, you can scratch where it itchesTue Feb 14 1989 13:361
192.4TTY_DIALTYPE = 64 works fine!MUNCSS::KOETHEManfred Koethe CSS SW Engineering MunichThu Feb 16 1989 03:0515
    re .3
    
    Yes, TTY_DIALTYPE = 64 was the clou. Now I have nice windows on
    my VR100. Thanks a lot.
    
    By the way, could you or someone else please publish a list of all
    TTY_DIALTYPE bits  used by DECwindows and their meaning here?
    
    I know several for VWS, but none (besides 64) for DECwindows.
    
    Thanks again,
