ERROR: cannot allocate memory.
There is not enough memory to run this program. Free up more system memory below 640 Kilobytes and re-run
SHOWMODE.
ERROR: VESA function #n not supported.
The VESA function #n is not supported. The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) BIOS extensions
are required for extended mode support.
ERROR: VESA function #n not successful.
An error occurred while setting VESA function #n. This is an unknown error condition which could mean that in
the current hardware setup the function failed. Change the hardware or BIOS configuration and try again.
Error setting mode xxh. This mode is not supported in hardware
VESA BIOS supports mode xxh, however, the hardware does not support this mode. This error condition can
occur when a high resolution mode is not supported by the LCD panel. i.e., mode 102h is an 800x600 high
resolution mode, CRT monitors can handle it, but LCD panels (640x480) do not handle this mode.
SHOWMODE displays the standard IBM VGA modes assuming standard IBM VGA numbers (i.e., mode 3 is
80x25 characters). This program may have difficulties displaying some customized video modes if other
applications have changed the display from the IBM default settings.
If a non-Seiko Epson BIOS or non-Seiko Epson chip is present, SHOWMODE will restrict its display options
to IBM standard modes 0 through 13 hex.
