I have a 486DX2-66 with a Diamond Stealth 64 VLB card with 2 MB DRAM. I use it
with a 15' CTX monitor, and for some reason cannot get it centered correctly in
DOS after having centered it in Windows. I have been using User-defined
monitor settings, starting with Windows at 800x600x256 and then centering
Windows with the monitor adjustments. After doing this, I quit to DOS, and run
s64dmode.exe, select Custom Monitor at the same resolution with polarity +/- as
per the monitor manual, and then center the rectangle in the centering utility.
When I exit the centering utility, the screen is immediately off-center, and
stays that way for all DOS programs. Windows remains centered. Am I doing
something wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Are you using the keyboard, or the monitor controls to center the screen? You
will want to have DOS centered, then enter S64DMODE, select custom, then select
the resolution, then frequencies to use. When the box appears on the screen,
use your arrow keys, on the keyboard, to center the screen. Once you have it
centered, press enter.
