Re: [Qemu-devel] Windows98 under SUSE 9.2: Only 640*480 in 16 colors

[Info]

There is a VESA graphic driver for Windows. Unfortunatly, 
MS doesn't support this standard by default. Do a google, 
download and install it. I think it should work with the 
vgabios of QEmu. I use the high color/resolution VESA 
modes with GEOS and it works great.
