When I cange to 512x342 only the render area canges, the screenmode is st=
ill
640x480. I canged the modeid in the envvar to 512x342x16 (1086455879) but
it still uses 640x480. How do I make it run on a 512x342 screenmode?

Is there much diffrence between a 604@233 and a 603@240? or a CVPPC and a
BVPPC?
I get the whole display dithered, how do I turn that off? Musn=B4t that s=
low
things down? ...I have the Warp3D/Phermedia2/dither set to "off".
I seam to have problems with speed in other Warp3D programs aswell, the m=
esa
demos for instance run in maybe 3-5 fps and I get some db flickering in t=
he
background :(
