- I have an STB Evolution with the original Bios rev 1.0 (there is a newer one)
- and it works flawlessly under Windows in 256 color, 16 bit, and 25 bit true
- color modes. Also works flawlessly in all 256 color modes with Fractint and
- with Cshow when using their VESA driver. My only gripe is that the 24 bit
- mode is awfully slow. The 256 color and 16 bit modes are reasonable.
