Has anybody figured out how to use the 2 plane (4 grey scales) facility of the newer Sigma Designs Laser-View video adapters ? Mine ony uses black and white (no grey scales) even if there is a grey scale video controller in. I am using the 386/ix X11R3 rel. 1.1 server. thanks, Dirk Koeppen

Bear in mind that if we ever do get it supported, you'll suffer a performance penalty. Some things (especially scrolling and moving windows) would only be half as fast in a 2 plane mode.
