Quiet group ? I was just gone from my computer for a day, and suddenly I
have 68 messages (!)

But: there's this package for doing digital image processing written by
Jin Shin Ho called Display (the one I've got has filename disp189a.zip)
which BTW is compiled with DJGPP. It's got lots of drivers, including
user-contributed ones, for GRX.

When I was still using an older computer, I was able to find a driver
there for the Realtek RTG3105 (a really slow, really cheap S(?)VGA card).
Since you have a Cirrus, you're in luck.

Although: why don't you get SciTech's UNIVBE package, so you have VESA 2.0
compliance? DJGPP works well with VESA cards. btw even VESA 1.2 (I use on
an S3 805 and Trio64) is good enough to make GRX happy.
