to ALL re: WRITING TO EGA/VGA SCREEN
I really just have one basic question about writing directly to screen
buffer when using an EGA or VGA card:
Is it necessary to wait for the horizontal retrace before writing to
screen RAM to avoid screen flicker? I know that when writing to screen
RAM on a CGA card it is necessary because some CGA card does autosync
their task. On the 2 EGA cards that I tried the screen writing test on
the screen does not flicker so it is not necessary to wait for the
horizontal retrace. But I guess what I'm really asking is whether
this autosync mechanism is a feature in all EGA and VGA card.
If you have an answer, please let me know.
Msg 41805 is 08 line(s) on 05/09/89 from SAM LEE
to ALL re: CONTINUED FROM MSG 41804
Line 5 of message 41804 left out the word 'not' between
the 'does' and autosync, so it should read as follows:
some CGA cards do not autosync their output to screen
RAM.
Well, I guess if you are reading this message you must
have the answer to my question.
Thank you for your help.

Dear Tracy,
Did you sell your system? Ray is a part time musician and was quite
interested in your system. The number at work is 908-5244 and Ray
asked that you call between noon and 3 P.M. monday thru friday. If
this is not convenient let me know.
Thank you,
Barry

to SAM LEE re: R/WRITING TO EGA/VGA SCREEN
The flicker problem is only with the older CGA cards. You should be able to
write directly to video ram on all the ega and vga cards.
