2313.0. "HiNote VP - Underscores Missing" by EXCENT::STULTS () Wed Feb 26 1997 17:28

    I have a HiNote VP running Windows 95.  Underscores don't display in
    bolded strings from various products, KEA and Visual Basic, for in-
    stance.  As a matter of fact, I can't even see an underscore if I type
    one in this note.  My display settings are:
                       
    	256 Color, 800 X 600 pixels
    	Adapter type, NeoMagic MagicGraph 128V
    	Monitor type, Laptop Display Panel (800 X 600)
    
    If I change it to 16 color, the underscores do show, but 640 X 480
    pixels is used by the system, no matter what I set it to. 
    
    Anyone have any ideas?

I've noticed this in Procomm Plus too, but even non-bolded fonts will do it.

2313.2Video driver ?NETRIX::"[email protected]"Lars-Eric DufvenbergSat Mar 01 1997 19:399
I got the same problem i think some thinks are wrong
in the video driver.
In keaterm you can�t change font only size.
The underline is missing in all program even in
msword 7.0 after spell errors are corrected

2313.3Exchange and underlinesDELNI::tunsrv2-tunnel.imc.das.dec.com::DECNA.LKG.DEC.COM::emsleyWed Mar 05 1997 23:544
Yes, I have seen this in Exchange when addresses are resolved you would 
normally see the address underlined, but not on my VP

2313.4New NeoMagic driver solves this problemPCBUOA::GLANTZThu Mar 06 1997 14:176
The "invisible underscore" at 800x600 problem is fixed by using v5.30 of the
NeoMagic driver (original shipping version was 4.03).  We will be placing this
version on our Web page soon. 

While you're visiting the Web page, be sure you have BIOS v1.05 on your machine 
as well.

2313.6Netscape crashes VP 535LGP30::FLEISCHERwithout vision the people perish (DTN 381-0426 ZKO1-1)Sun Mar 16 1997 18:3412
        Speaking of NeoMagic and new drivers:  My VP 535 running
        Windows NT 4.0 (plus SP2) crashes to bluescreen after running
        Netscape Navigator Gold V3.01 for more than a minute or two. 
        The crash appears to happen in some neo* program.

        (This system has the 1.05 BIOS and the latest drivers from
        the web site installed -- the driver version numbers reported
        by "display type" are 3.01, 4.0.30.)

        Is this a known problem?

2313.7When?TAMARA::redear.zko.dec.com::tamara::cummingsJerry Cummings, TeamLinksWed Mar 19 1997 09:197
When will the new NeoMagic Win95 drivers be available? The
problem really bugs me, but I've been living with. Now we've
got customers complaining about it (they think it's a bug
in TeamLinks).

2313.8....soon...PCBUOA::GLANTZWed Mar 19 1997 13:455
    I wish I could give you a definite date, but all our resources are
    devoted to a new product we are about to announce.  Once that one's out
    the door, we can go back to maintenance of our exisiting lines.
    
    As typical these days, no one has any cycles to spare.
