SciTech Display Doctor 7.0 for OS/2 BETA 11 is now available! You can download this new beta.
This new version is a self installing executeable file for OS/2, so you simply need to download the file and run it.
Changes in BETA 11:- Brand new installer for professional version. Hopefully all license registration problems will be fixed by this new installer.
- Added support for selection between small and large fonts and icons for PM (WinOS/2 support is coming).
- Added support for listing both 32768 and 65536 color depths in the system properties page. Also fixed problems with WinOS2 display incorrect colors if 32768 modes were selected.
- Fixed line clipping problem for Y-major lines as seen in the Java WireFrame demo program (and also in the Speedy benchmark).
- Fixed line clipping problem for horizontal and vertical lines when dragging windows off the edge of the screen and back on again.
- Fixed memory detection problems for Cirrus Logic 543x/4x chipsets, causing hardware cursor to disappear for some 2Meg boards.
- Fixed mono bitmap and text functions causing scrolling and BitBlt corruption on Cirrus 543x/4x chipsets.
- Fixed lockup on booting with Cirrus 5434 chipsets.
- Fixed text corruption problems and other acceleration problems with the Intel i740. Still working on solving some corruption problems with high resolution and high refresh rate modes in 16/24bpp.
- Fixed screen corruption problems for Cirrus 543x/4x chipsets when running high refresh rates with high color depths.
- Fixed hardware cursor glitches at 1600x1200 on Matrox Millenium boards.
- Removed support for monochrome bitmap acceleration for the original S3 Virge chipsets, which have hardware corruption that we cannot work around. All Virge chipsets later than the original do not exhibit this problem (ie: Virge/DX, Virge/GX, Virge/VX etc).
Changes in BETA 10:- Added updated BVHSVGA.DLL to solve OS/2 fullscreen session problems.
- Added support for GRADD based refresh control back in, allowing you to select refresh rates from the system properties page.
- Fixed more bugs in hardware line drawing for clipped lines when WinOS2 is being used. Checked to ensure that JMark line drawing tests work properly, as well as the Speedy WinOS2 benchmark (when lines are clipped).
- Changed PMI driver to list the highest performance mode out of 24 and 32 bit modes, with preference for 32bit modes. Now you should only see one set of modes show up in the system properties page.
- Fixed PCI retries problems for Matrox, and S3 boards causing problems with sound getting corrupted when scrolling large screens of data.
- Fixed problems with 1152x864x16 modes on Matrox Mystique boards.
- Fixed crash on startup with certain display modes with the S3 Savage3D/4 based chipsets.
- Fixed problems with some hardware not correctly being detected and failing to load in Nucleus. Unknown hardware should correctly fall back on the VBE driver (ala GENGRADD).
- Fixed problems with some revisions of the NVidia boards not being detected and falling back on the VBE driver. These boards do not have a VBE 3.0 BIOS and hence refresh control was disabled.
- Added support for AMD K6-2, K6-III and Athlon processor write combining. AMD systems should get much improved system memory to video memory performance with this new support.
