- I found rather lately that my ATI Graphics Ultra runs in its VGA mode
- (I am blushing all over). Well, I installed the 8514a mode and
- expected a big gain in speed of the display. But, surprise, nothing
- of this sort! The screen is a trifle slower. This becomes evident
- with, e.g., the Tex previewer of the EmTex package, which now needs
- more time to set up a page.
-
- Of course I realize that the 8514a mode has to
- calculated more pixels that the standard VGA mode. But I had hoped that
- the graphics accelerator would be much overcompensating. (Of course I
- like the better resolution too).
-
- Am I expecting too much? (In case it matters, this is a 486/33MHz with
- 16MB RAM).
