Graphics Tools & Drivers
This page contains downloads for some generic graphics tools, but also specific tools and drivers for each graphics card manufacturer. Use the following table to jump straight to one of these sections:
Generic Tools
| Product | Comments | Download |
|---|---|---|
| VINFO | VINFO displays your graphics card's VESA VBE compliance version, and all supported video modes. Written by StyX/HeadcrasH. | Click |
| UniVBE | The last version of UniVBE. | Click |
| UniRfrsh | A universal DOS refresh rate utility for use with multi-scan monitors. Four frequencies need to be configured, minimum/maximum, vertical/horizontal. Look in the manual of the monitor and fill in these four frequencies, then run the setup program which writes a text file for the TSR to use. | Click |
| Modified UniVBE | If your video card is not being recognized correctly by your game, it might be
caused by the fact that some games use a built-in version of UniVBE/SDD (UVBELib) and are not able to use the VBE BIOS from the video card. UVBELib generates a driver (univbe.drv) that contains video card specific code. Just copy the correct univbe.drv file to the game directory, overwriting the existing univbe.drv file, and try the game again. |
