- Has anyone else had a problem with running 320x200x256 and higher modes in
- a window with these drivers? I was able to run these programs with the
- standard VGA drivers with no problems at all. I was hoping to see similar
- performance with 640x480, but ended up losing the abilities I had in the first
- place.
- Also, has anyone had any problems with the palette not looking right on 256
- color programs they run? I ran PMGif, the gif displayer, and about half of
- the colors in the GIF images I viewed were obviously wrong. I got the same
- performance with a bitmap image I made in 256 colors from a WinOS2 program.
- Does anyone know why this is? Windows 3.0 & 3.1 and X11 both have no problems
- releasing the palette to the applications, is this a bug?
- Thirdly, the 16 color drivers were indistinguishable from the 256 color drivers
- . The performance was just as slow, and there were 256 colors still. (I
- followed the instructions with the drivers to the letter.)

- On an unrelated note, anyone know if sound drivers are in the works?...
