I am setting up my 755CD for Win 95. I looked over the FAQ (too out of date), though I assume this has been discussed before. Are there Win 95 drivers to allow external 800X600 displays in hi-color (16bit) mode for the 755CD (and CE)? Where can I get them? I actually got the hi-color to work at 800X600 by using the 755CX Win95 driver, so the hardware is in some ways capable. BUT it looked like it was in interlace or 43Hz mode AND whenever I tried to use any other IBM graphics setup (for enhanced graphics), the screen went bonkers (looked like viewing through a fish tank and at wrong resolution). The WD90C24 Win 3.11 drivers for the 755CE and CD do seem to support the 800X600 high color mode, but they are not Win 95 compliant. Also, I had trouble getting the external SVGA to even find the high-resolution modes when first starting Win95. I had some help to get it set up, but it is a hassle. You set CRT mode in the IBM Display options, shutdown Win95 and the computer, hold F1 when powering up to get the Easy Setup options, hit Config, hit Initialize, exit, restart Win95, "remove" the Western Digital display adapter, and then reinstall it. After restarting, you get the other resolutions (at least 800 X 600 @ 256, and 1024 X 768 @ 256). Again, a definite hassle. Thanks for any help. I have other questions about why the 755CD is so flakey with Suspend and Hibernate and why the Glidepoint pad clicking doesn't work...but I'll ask those later (soon).
