7466.0. "Win95 Video drivers for Venturis 486?" by 45862::lzodhcp-182-48-102.lzo.dec.com::hiltong ([email protected]) Wed Jun 04 1997 09:30

What video drivers should I be using under Windows95 on a Venturis 
450S2.

I've searched in here and also at http://pces02.ako.dec.com, but 
can't see video drivers for the Venturis 486 series.

Windows 95 should install its own driver - probably an S3 Trio 732 or something
like that.  Find out what type of video chip your system has and then get
the appropriate later driver from the web site, VS002119.EXE.

All the Win95 ones are Trio PCI, which I don't think is correct.

At boot it says:

S3 Trio 32 and the manual says it is a S3 Trio 32 (86C732-P).

Win95 just auto finds a standard VGA adapter.

    S3 Trio 32 is PCI based, so Trio PCI is not out of line.
    If you want to be certain, use the S3 Trio driver pointed
    to by .1, or verify on the http://pcbu.ako.dec.com web
    site under desktop/options/video etc.

Tell Win95 to select S3 Trio 732/764.
