- I have a Gateway 2000 486/33C with Diamond SpeedStar Plus video card and
- the dual frequency CrystalScan 1024NI monitor. Release 0.97 worked with
- it in most video modes.
-
- This is not the case with 0.98 because it does not allow manual
- selection of those modes and its automatic selection is wrong for my
- video hardware; can't see a thing after the Loading ......... is
- finished.
-
- Has anybody else experienced this problem besides me and is there a fix
- for it? I think it was a mistake to take out the manual video selection
- option and I hope it will be placed back in the next release, with
- perhaps a timer activating automatic selection after -- say -- 30
- seconds if there was no manual selection. (Similarly to boot manager
- operation.)
