Eli,

I'll try removing the nc 256 from my go32 variable and let you know if
it wipes out.

DJ,

I finally got the real grx last night and tried some of the suggestions
from the net. I now have 1024x768x256 colors! Ye Ha!

In reading the new documentation, I see that you are working on a set of
drivers that can take advantage of more than 1 Mb of video ram. I have
yet to unleash the 2 Mb of high speed dual ported VRAM on my Viper and
see anything in real color. I have an alleged true color windoze driver,
but I can see not one iota of difference between that and the 256 color
driver. If you need any test sites for 16 bit or 24 bit vesa or Viper
drivers, I have some high and true color fractal algorithms that would
put them to the test.


Thanks for the help, Hackers,
