Thanks, Paul- I did begin to suspect the makefcfg.exe might only create for the particular video adapter . . . 
 
Very frustrating!! I may try this on another machine, to see what results I get. Seems the industry is letting us down!
 
Thanks for all your help!

When one runs the MAKEFCFG.EXE program, it should only create a
FRACTINT.CFG file with the entries necessary for the video adapter that
is used with that computer. The FRACTINT.CFG file that comes with the
older FractInt download (on the Spanky website) has several additional
entries that cover various adapter/monitor environments, and therefore
is a larger file size.

To my knowledge, the MAKEFCFG.EXE program has not changed in many years,
so there probably is no newer version available.

It is quite interesting to see that there is only one resolution and
color mode specified. No matter which entry is created, it is basically
the same for each. The only difference is within the AX and BX values.

I can now see why FractInt may not be displaying things correctly, or
giving error messages, when you choose another listed mode. You really
only have one that can work properly.

I did some reading on the web at these sites:

http://www.digit-life.com/articles/radeonve/index.html
http://www.ati.com/products/radeon7000/radeonve/specs.html
https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=27

But was unable to come up with anything, other than the Radeon VE
graphics controller/processor should have display support that is
register compatible with VGA, is BIOS compatible with VESA for super VGA
and has VESA Display Power Management Support. And I did not find any
reference to the version 6.13.10.6006 drivers that you have loaded.

What might help, is to know which Series your Radeon VE adapter is, such
as 7000, 9250, 9200, X850, etc....


Sincerely,
