Nonsense, this has nothing to do with the design of Warp3D. It does
support CGX3, it was even programmed with CGX 3 and only at a later stage,
CGX 4 support was added.

You'll have to take care, though, to get the very latest version of CGX 3.
No other works. There's a text file included with the Warp3D archive the
explains in detail what version of the libraries you'll need.

You'll also have to take care to select the right settings when
installing. For a CGX 3 system and a Blizzard/CVisionPPC board, you'll
have to check "CGX3 with B/CVisionPPC". In fact, it actually uses the
W3D_CyberGFX4 driver.

This also means that once you start messing with the installation, moving
things manually, you'll probably make a mess of the installation. Don't
touch any libraries, or it won't work.

Plus, to repeat it once again, make sure you have BITMAPCACHE=YES set in
the monitor's icon.

CU,
