Hagar Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 There is no way, it simply doesn't work. you can get VESA with colours by increasing the vram to max in bios, that is all. In addition, I have lost count of how many times I have posted this same information, you must surely have found it somewhere before now?
