Looks like I wasn't detailed enough the first time... Yes, I'm on 1.99o,
for both DOS and Linux, and using UNIVBE for DOS (I also tried without).
Before I start Marathon (The 4L demo or something -- I just downloaded it
from ftp.bungie.com), the prefs panel says 256 colors, and I've even
tried starting executor with "-bpp 8", but Marathon still changes to
1bpp. It's my assumtion that this is a Screen Mode Detection routine
gone amuck or some such... My graphics card is the ATI mach64 card (PCI),
any ideas?
