Sounds identical to mine, using 115R. Also on an EISA machine (486/25, 32Mb). I can solve/avoid my problem using the non-turbo mode on the VGA card (a Orchid Prodesigner IIs). I never experienced it until I switched to a 17" monitor that could do 1024x768. On the ol' 640x480 monitor the turbo-mode worked fine. I have yet to try 205R on this machine. > Hellmuth Michaelis hm@altona.hamburg.com Hamburg, Europe _ __________________________________________________________________________ | / o / / _ Wilko Bulte email: wilko@yedi.iaf.nl |/|/ / / /( (_) Private FreeBSD site - Arnhem - The Netherlands --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
