Running Winstall with Command-line Parameters --------------------------------------------- Winstall can be executed with command-line parameters giving the driver resolution, colors, and font. This will install the driver which conforms to the parameters given. Usage is: winstall If any parameters are invalid, Winstall will tell you which parameter was invalid. A bad parameter either indicates that the colors or font is invalid for the given resolution or there is a spelling error in the parameter. Valid values for each parameter follow. Note that the text for each parameter must be typed exactly as shown.

The following chart maps bpp to number of colors: bpp Colors -------------------- 4 16 8 256 15 32768 (HiColor) 16 65536 24 16.7M (TrueColor) Examples: winstall 1024x768 4 small Selects 1024 by 768 resolution, 16 colors (4 bits per pixel) and the small, or normal, font. winstall 640x480 15 small Selects 640x480 resolution, 32768 colors (HiColor), and a small font.
