I don't really care if Intuition runs on it (probably won't run on the Lowell either). I'm sure Dale Luck would love to port his X implementation to a 24 bit card. That's all the GUI I need. Speaking of X, is it using Motif? Dale? 1024x1024 x 24 bits 34020. I don't care about animation. I want the power. Actually, Intuition in 1.4 is going to be real nice... >Sean >//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// > UUCP: ...!crash!pnet01!pro-party!seanc | > ARPA: !crash!pnet01!pro-party!seanc@nosc.mil | " I drank what?

Several have been demonstrated to me but nothing as far as an RGB product has really come available as far as I know. What I would like to see is either a 24/32 bit true color card or a simple 8 bit card with a nice 24 bit CLUT. For starters just make it dumb, dumb, dumb. Worry about speeding it up with a local processor later. Motif? I'm not presently working on getting motif ready for the Amiga however it is planned to be ported. There are several people that have indicated an interest in spending the effort to try. Dale Luck GfxBase uunet!cbmvax!dale
