An update to the Vibrant Graphics drivers which shipped with Autodesk 3D Studio release 3 and 4.  Specifically, this consists of VIB3DS.VLM and VIBRANT.RES.  Numerous changes were made - see below.

 Caution:
 This software has not been tested by Autodesk.  Use at your own risk. Autodesk disclaims any responsibility for supporting users running 3D Studio Release 3 and Release 4 with this new set of driver.

 Installation instructions:
 Copy or rename your existing Vibrant driver files to something else,
 e.g., VIB3DS.OLD, VIBRANT.OLD. Then copy the new VIB3DS.VLM and
 VIBRANT.RES to your current 3DS3 or 3DS4 directory.  A new VG940124.RLM
 file is included to replace VG920922.RLM is required to support the new
 TIGA draw-library.  This RLM file must be placed into the directory
 with the TIGA utilties.


This driver update contains numerous bug fixes and reflects support
additions for a number of graphics adapters.


*** DRIVER CHANGES *************************************************

    Removed configuration warnings for Hi-/True-color XOR color
    problems when running under Release 4.


*** CARDLIST SUPPORT ***********************************************

MGA
    Fixed card detection on newer PCI boards. Fixed memory access
    on true color modes requiring more than 2Mb.

    Fixed a work around for silicon bugs in the Titan/Atlas chips.
    Changed to use internal vdc generic bitblit if silicon bug
    not detected.

    Changed Matrox Ultima-Plus (4Mb) to just Ultima-Plus, then added 
    4MB designations to modes requiring that much memory.


VGAVDC
    Fixed problem with misplaced parts of text in 1280 x 1024 x 4bpp.
    Problem was caused by bad dereference for page in monoblit.


VDCGEN
    Fixed PCI read configuration function.

    Fixed problem with horizontal dash lines in 8bpp and 16bpp modes. 
    Problem was caused by endian-ness in word and dword transfers.

    Fixed 'out of scope' bug in VDCLDREX.C.
    Fixed reads and writes to PCI configuration registers in
    VDCPCI.ASM.


P9000
    Fixed dashline mask problem to use only the first 8 bits of the 
    dash pattern and run it either horizontally or vertically.

    Added support for ATT20C511 RAMDAC/clock chip, ATT505 DAC,
    and Bt489 RAMDAC.

    Updated Brooktree RAMDAC HRZ timing calculations and detection routines. 


QVISION
    Changed display frequency selection method. Added new modes with
    specific display frequencies. Removed monitor det
