Try jumping over the following sections (1, 2, 3) of code. This is where I have had the most trouble with my other video card. One of the problems is that just because you can read the value of the scanline length doesn't mean that you can actually set the scanline length.
I tried skipping all the blocks, as well as changing bad_vesa to wedone as you suggested in a private email. Nothing helped. I assume that in each case I should put a jmp where one of your numbered "jump obver next" were placed, and place the jmp target before the next numbered spot (just after the jne bad_vesa). Any other requests? Keep in mind that even though I am using virtual=yes, I am not actually trying to use a virtual mode. I'm basically starting fractint thusly: fractint virtual=yes video=sf4 and then pressing ESC. If I understand the virtscan routine (unlikely! :-), I may never be entering the code you wanted me to skip. Aren't sxdots and sydots equal to vesa xres and yres in my case? Apparently not, because if I skip all the way to wedone, everything is OK. Tim
