EGA.SYS Command Line Parameters Message

ID: Q67011

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a

SUMMARY

When the EGA.SYS device driver version 2.10.18 included with Microsoft Windows version 3.0 is loaded in CONFIG.SYS, it displays the following message on the screen as a default:

Command line parameters:

FUNC=XX, to change INT 2FH function number. (where XX is 80 through FF hexadecimal inclusive)

For example:

DEVICE=EGA.SYS FUNC=AC

Using default value of BCH for interrupt 2FH function calls. A copy of the EGA Device Driver is being installed.

MORE INFORMATION

This message is no cause for alarm. The length of this message can be reduced by adding the FUNC=XX parameter on the end of the DEVICE=EGA.SYS line, where XX refers to the default value in the message on your computer screen. In the example message above, this modification would appear similar to the following:


    DEVICE=EGA.SYS FUNC=BC

Once this change is made, the message on the screen reads as follows:

Using user defined value of BCH for interrupt 2FH function calls.
