- The Trident drivers work very well for me (a little slow maybe but at
- least I have GOOD 800x600 and 1024x768 256 color drives now!!!). I've
- got an OEM version of the ATI VGAWonder XL (with 1Mb on board) Perhaps
- that's your problem. I recall someone here mentioning that these trident
- drivers were only for cards with 1 Mb; do you have 1 Mb or 512K?
-
- Also, do you have the 'revised edition'? The file I got from hobbes
- was called TRI32NEW.ZIP and the instructions in the readme file had
- been revised by someone (Steve someone-or-other I think; sorry whoever
- you are, but I'm horrible with names).
-
- Short of that, I don't know what the problem might be. Sorry I can't
- be of any more help.
