Aha, thanks. The page with tons of stuff you are probably talking about is Dean's page at www.arctic.org/~dgaudet/tp560/. Very good stuff, I am now using 16 bits.

Perhaps I will invest in Xinside, the benchmarks on that page show marked improvements. > >William Robertson <robr@wired.com> spake: > >: > >: if you run xfree 3.3 you can get 16bits in 800x600 mode. without > >: cy9832. > > Then Jerry inquired: > > >How?
