[comp.windows.ms] Any fixes for 256 color ATI driver yet?

bill@brahms.udel.edu (Bill Tsai) (01/04/91)

I have been using the 256 color driver that's slow and scrolls
when the mouse pointer touches the top of the screen.  Is there
a newer version out there somewhere??

Gee, it sure would be nice to have some indication of what version you are
running. The latest version that I know of shows the following: 

 Length  Method   Size  Ratio   Date    Time   CRC-32    Name
 ------  ------   ----  -----   ----    ----   ------    ----
   1636  Implode    557  66%  10-30-90  17:46  230a459b  oemsetup.inf
   3783  Implode   1570  58%  10-30-90  17:48  d6023a35  readme

  79200  Implode  34222  57%  11-05-90  10:14  b26c1a6c  win3-63b.drv

BTW, the 800x600x256 is still SLOW. When asked, ATI indicated that there are
no plans to speed up the driver. Perhaps if more people complained something
would get done.

I downloaded these from the ATI BBS (416) 756-4591 (Toronto, Canada). They
have been uploaded to BIX (in the microsoft conference). I thought that
someone had uploaded these to cica.cica.indiana.edu as well.
