- Thanks, Timothy, and thanks to all who replied to me via e-mail. It
- just didn't pop into my mind that the file I was looking for would be
- _available_ in an _upload_directory_. (Couldn't happen at
- nic.funet.fi ;-).
-
- In a previous message you said that the generic driver wouldn't work
- with 'accelerated' cards. It's pretty unclear to me what WD really
- means by 'accelerated'; my vendor said that this 90C30-based card is
- accelerated and it is fast indeed - but the generic driver works!
- Thanks to all who helped, especially the author of the package.
-
- Of course, now I'm waiting for a 1024x768 driver with seamless Windows
- support, but that's another cake ;-)
-
- One problem remains: OS/2 full screen sessions won't work with this
- driver (SVGA has to be ON, and with OS/2 FS sessions the display loses
- sync - strangely, this does not happen with DOS full screen sessions.
- Any ideas what I should do?
