Wow, I got it not too soon after it was released! :)

I like it!  The video mode switch is quite useful.  Not seamless, but this
sort of thing isn't anyway.

The newest version of the driver breaks my system worse than it already
was.  :(  You can look at what I get out from a screenshot at
http://gdi.uoregon.edu/redscreen.gif.  It looks like the gamma correction
is off in the RGB_24 case.   It says it's falling back to Ximage, btw.

Why are the color_ctl flags _forced_ to the settings with = and not |= in
rgb_prog?  I'm probably asking the wrong person, so this is to the list...
