I tried the 800*600*16, 640*480*256, and I believe one other... I didnt' try the 1024*768 tho. OS/2 did come up... but a lot of colors were wrong, stuff like no title bar text, and I couldn't fix it with the control panel. There seems to be a difference in the way repainting/invalidation is done, so things wouldn't redraw properly. Scroll bars wouldn't redraw at all. I then called Headland... the driver/software droid shuffled me to tech support claiming that 1.2 drivers work. Tech support says they don't because of widespread reports of problems. He said that he didn't know a date in which 1.3 drivers would be available... not even a clue. :-( One of the reasons I went with this board was driver support. (They had the first Windows drivers, and one of them was bundled with Windows) Do any other SVGA board makers have 1.3 drivers??? -- Bill Chin internet:bchin@umd5.umd.edu PC/IP, Computer Science Center NeXTmail:bchin@is-next.umd.edu U-Maryland, College Park *Standard Disclaimers Apply*
