Hi. I was playing with "debug" , just writing asm code and asking to chatgpt to try enabling the external VGA by hand but I only got a freezing computer. Maybe this is a huge challenge to solve. *Gabriel González González* El mié, 9 oct 2024 a las 21:05, Eric Auer via Freedos-user (< freed

Thank you for your answer Liam . I tried that , but it seems to work only if it is running with an OS ( VGA Drivers Loaded) On Windows or Linux loaded that works. There is no way to clone the screen without that . So , I will forget it. Thank to all for your help. *Gabriel González González* E

Hi all. I have an old laptop , HP Mini ( exactly this one : hp mini "hstnn-i70c" ) . I installed FreeDos on it but my surprise was when I plugged it in to an external monitor by VGA that did not turn on. Even I closed the laptop waiting it will recognize the external VGA. But nothing happened. If
