I double clicked on the monitor driver BVision and the screen went funny =
but
my tv was still good, I was then using cgxmod and was completely astonish=

to see it come up with a load of screen modes. "Oh My God, It Worked!?!?!=

I exclaimed in disbelief.

ah, but how does one go about getting warp3d to work? I have downloaded i=
t
and stormmesa for my program. Happily, the colours are now what they shou=
ld
be, but its still as slow as it always was. This is I feel because warp3d
isnt working, indeed, the statistics at the end confirm this fact. I`ve
installed warpupv4 and got the latest warp3d from haage-partner. What is
Birdie?
