| re: OHFSS1::TOKAR
Video works differently on NT 4.0 than on NT 3.5x so until you get a
driver specifically written for 4.0, there is little hope for getting
it to work.
Did C&T's web site actually have a 4.0 driver that didn't work or did
you merely try the latest 3.5x driver that they had?
Have you tried the CHIPS.SYS driver from the DRVLIB\VIDEO\X86\CHIPS
directory on the NT 4.0 CD? I haven't used these myself, but I presume
they were included for some reason.

| 2301.2 | standard 4.0 drivers broke | OHFSS1::TOKAR | | Mon Feb 17 1997 11:27 | 20 |
|
I have tried both drivers.
I tried the C&T driver found on my NT 4.0 CD. It died.
I got the latest and greatest NT 4.0 driver off C&T's web site -
and it died as well.
When I checked into C&T's support, they point you to the manufacturer.
So to answer your questions: I used the 4.0 drivers, they do not work.
My question: When will we have a driver out? I don't want to
downgrade to 3.51 or (God forbid) Windows 95.

| 2301.3 | its possible.. | OUTSRC::16.65.144.213::aguilar | | Mon Feb 17 1997 12:50 | 7 |
| try the drivers for the ultra2. i'm running nt 4.0 on my ct475
and have C&T drivers v. 3.24, 3.5.0, chip type 65545.
so, it is possible...

| 2301.4 | better but... | OHFSS1::TOKAR | | Mon Feb 17 1997 18:49 | 15 |

Judy,
Good job.
I am now up to 65K colors, but still can only manage
640x480 screen resolution. Are you using an external monitor or the
standard screen? Since I only have 1MB of video ram, perhaps that is
the limitation.
I've seen some of the folks running Windows 95 and the resolution
is much crisper.

| 2301.5 | same here.. | OUTSRC::16.65.144.213::aguilar | | Tue Feb 18 1997 08:58 | 9 |
| b.t.
i'm glad to hear it worked for you. i'm using the standard
screen and only get 640x480 with anything over 256 colors.
if you find a solution, please post it or let me know.

| 2301.6 | up to engineering | OHFSS1::TOKAR | | Tue Feb 18 1997 13:03 | 6 |

I think it will be up to engineering to write the proper driver for the
system.

| 2301.7 | C&T from NT works for the most part | MSE1::mse_chenis.mse.tay.dec.com::chenis | Kenneth Chenis | Tue Feb 18 1997 15:09 | 22 |
| The c&t driver included in NT 4.0 works fine with the
exception that you can't do a soft reboot if you have
24MB of memory (don't ask me why, I posted this as an
issue and informed the PCBU about it, but never got a
fix)
I have NT4 - Stock C&T Driver (on NT4 CDrom) - and 256
color up to 1024x768, and 16M color at 640x480.
Just don't reboot - you get the crash indicated in the
base note because the system starts up seeing the 1MB
of video memory as valid memory, and seems to report
25MB available to the system (as opposed to 24).
The real fun part is if you do this when running FAT as
opposed to NTFS - the root partition gets crushed, and
you end up with the "missing operating system" message.
Hope this helps (at least a little).

| 2301.8 | Seems to be the mouse that's the prob | NETRIX::"[email protected]" | | Tue Feb 25 1997 09:04 | 6 |
| I have tried the drivers from the C&T site and had similar problems. The mouse
seems to be the problem. The system will quite happily stay up until you touch
the mouse - then blue screen and the unhandled exception.

| 2301.11 | NT V4.0 Drivers work fine but don't Soft Reboot | NETRIX::"[email protected]" | Eric Dube | Wed Mar 26 1997 13:37 | 33 |
| The problem with the soft reboot on a HiNote Ultra
CT475 (ONLY) WITH 24mb existed way back in NT V3.51 when
using the C&T video drivers.
I complained about it then, but some people from
the PCBU told me I was on glue.
So, its no surprise that when I got NT V4.0 installed
with the C&T video drivers it did the same thing of
totalling the video memory with the system memory.
(i.e. 25 Meg)
I actually think its a problem either with the design
of the system or the BIOS. I highly doubt its the driver
as the one from the NT V4.0 CDROM AND the one directly from
C&T cause the same results never mind the fact that it
happened in a completely different version of NT.
(But both drivers do work just fine with NT on the Ultra!)
The problem mentioned earlier in the thread about NT V4.0
crashing all the time I found happens only for some reason
on the HiNote Ultra CT475's. I haven't been able to track
it down (dumpexam.exe), but its frequent enough to be annoying
so much in fact that I dumped it and now run Windows 97 beta.
I have noticed it to be somewhat linked to the mouse, but I
don't necessarily believe that's the cause of the problem as
it also crashes when the mouse is not used. (Go figure!)
Good luck,
Eric Dube
