A few days ago, I asked people who had both version 1.0 of Fractint for Windows and a SuperVGA adapter capable of 1024x768x16 mode in Windows to email me and tell me 1) the brand of their adapter and 2) whether FFW worked with it in that mode. I have the results of that poll and some extra information. First, the results: in 1024x768x16 video mode, FFW works with the following adapter/drivers Orchid Prodesigner Video-7 VRAM and Video-7 1024i TSENG (Tricom) TSENG 4000 (STB) But not with the following (the symptom is that the image is drawn in the right place horizontally, but a few inches below the right place vertically): ATI Trident 8800 Genoa (6400?) Furthur, Gary Mussar ran some tests on his ATI, and found that he could sometimes force FFW to draw its images in the right place if he "exposed" its window in certain ways (maximizing and then minimizing the Program Manager's window), but then any attempt to move FFW's window caused the same problems again. At this point, and given that FFW works with every other video resolution that we know about, I'm throwing my hands up, releasing version 2.0 of FFW with full source, and hoping that some Windows Wizard can find out what the #@$%!& is going on.
