Thanks so much for the help. I appreciate it. 🙂

I’ll see what neozeed can do to patch Qemu 0.15.1 again.

@neozeed @rainbow This might contain some specs/data about S3 864…

Also Tseng ET4000:

Alrighty!

I used Qemu 0.15.1 for a while and it turned out okay. 🙂

Sorry for posting a duplicate comment. It appears that the blog system suffered some lag while I was posting a reply to your comment. :p

Thanks!

You can also try the Cirrus CL-GD6420 drivers which are designed for both Windows 3.0 and Windows 3.1…hence you would implement the “-vga isacirrus3” to patch Qemu 0.15.1 as Qemu 0.15.9! 😀

Here you go: ftp://ftp.mpoli.fi/pub/hardware/DISPLAY/CIRRUS/CL-6420W.ZIP

cool I’ll have to give it a shot!

This page has some instructions on how to get the Cirrus Logic CL-GD542x drivers to work under Windows 3.0. Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee that the drivers will work under Windows 3.0, because the OS is only capable of using video drivers with up to 1 MB of display memory and can only address up to 16 MB of system memory.

Follow the instructions on how to get those drivers working: http://ftp.net.pulawy.pl/drivers/legacy/vga/cirrus/cirrus1/%231/win30/readme

Be aware that you cannot use the 64K_800.DRV and 16M_640.DRV drivers as they only operating under Windwos 3.1 and do not operate under Windows 3.0

I did found the 5320win3.zip driver, but it’s in beta and not very stable…and there appears to be no driver found anywhere.

I found another driver called “cirruswd.zip”, but it’s only a VGA controller chip driver and it’s only capable of displaying 16 colours. 🙁

If you can’t get the Cirrus Drivers that I provided working, it would be good to patch Qemu 0.15.1 again to include support for “-vga tseng” which includes support for the Tseng Labs Int’l ET4000 driver designed for Windows 3.0 and “-vga s3trio” for support for the S3 Trio 864 driver for Windows 3.1. 🙂

They provided special instructions on how to get the Cirrus Logic CL-GD542x drivers working under Windows 3.0, for which Cirrus Logic never very well supported it. However, one restriction is that you cannot use the 16-bit or 24-bit colour drivers as they’re only designed for Windows 3.1.

Windows 3.0 is only capable of using a graphics card with up to 1 MB of display memory and is only capable of accessing up to 16 MB of system memory.

If you can’t get the CL-GD542x drivers to work under Windows 3.0, you can try to patch up Qemu 0.15.1 more by implementing the Tseng Labs ET4000 driver (-vga tseng). 🙂

@neozeed Sorry I remembered it wrong…0.9.1 was the last version that supports both video and audio well. The “fix” of Cirrus happened in 0.12.3 (http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/old#Version_0.12.3), – cirrus: Properly re-register cirrus_linear_io_addr on vram unmap (Jan Kiszka). For 0.9.1, I used the driver from http://www.claunia.com/qemu/drivers/index.html (GD-5446).
