Thanks for your replies.

Rugxulo:

Yup, VESA VBE 3.0 in fact.

HX version is 2.17 (latest HXRT file is dated Jun-03-2010,
latest HXGUI file is dated Jan-26-2010).

RayeR:

Interesting about the buggy Intel BIOS. I suspected something
was up, as *every* VESA graphics mode is unusuable in a DOS box
or fullscreen in my Win98SE (images are completely "sliced up";
looks like some kind of pixel-offset error). Very frustrating.
But all VGA graphics modes <cough, cough> are fine in the Win DOS
box, and in pure DOS all graphics modes (VESA and VGA) seem fine.
I'd always thought it was a buggy Win driver (the latest from the
Intel site), but maybe it's the BIOS?

I installed the latest system BIOS update from the IBM site
(desktop ThinkCentre A50) a while back -- dunno if that updated
the video BIOS too. Do you know where i might find a newer i865G
BIOS? Or are they too system specific?

P.S. Apologize to everyone for the somewhat off-topic Windows
comments.... Still, they were about DOS graphics.
