- As far as I know, it's just a matter of using the VGA card manufacturer's
- manual booklet (as supplied with the card and it's disk) for instructions
- on how to set-up the driver in 256 colour mode to work with AutoCAD.
-
- (Note: most of the VGA cards I have installed for use in AutoCAD
- machines have easy-to-follow instructions with SPECIFIC directions
- about configuring the colours. They usually also have directions
- for things like WordPerfect, AutoCAD release 9, and others.)
-
- I have done this 256 colour setup thing MANY times, so if you continue
- to have problems, why not e-mail me the details, and I will try to help
- out.
