It's a bit unfair to WangDat though.. they have a rogue entry only because when I was writing the rogue code, it was the drive I had.. and I wanted to be able to test it and set different modes for it :) no complaint about the drive though:) > > The choice of the #9 GXE64 2Mb DRAM (S3-864) is almost a shot in the > dark, and perhaps a timid one. It's what I have here, (well GXE64-PRO-4MB) works fine I run it at 1600x1200 with a bit of flicker and 1200x1024 rock solid apparently there is a version that does 1600x1200 solid too, (has a faster clock) julian
