    What are native DOS drivers for a LCD monitor?
    « on: August 18, 2011, 03:31:48 PM »
    Hey everyone,

    How's it going?

    I'm looking for info on native DOS drivers for a LCD flat screen PC monitor. If I got the words right? What are they? What do they do for my system? For example, if I'm entering DOS utilities of off Hiren's Boot CD. Certain ones won't let me see the full screen. The same way, I can't see the DOS commands that I'm writing, or even the info that I'm receiving. Are there any native DOS drivers for that purpose?

    Are there anyway to configure, and set it up in the BIOS without having Windows installed? Does it work like that?

    They need to be video drivers...for whatever card/chip you are running...not Monitor drivers.

    Best of Luck finding them.
    I had to install a way old vid card on a newer system for someone because that was the only way to get it to run in DOS.

    BTW VM is still most likely your best solution for this dilemna.

      There's the info for the PC I have. I don't know what to look up.

      Could I install the drivers through the BIOS, so I don't have to worry about it unless I set the BIOS to default?

      I prefer not to use VM for some reason.
