- Perhaps ATI's drivers won't. According to the readme on service Pack

- This sounds just like the way we've been doing things all along.
- Apparantly only ATI can't get their drivers working right...
-
- Personally, ATI has until Radius gets their XGA-2 board out for a
- price I can afford (I'm looking for $300, discount). If I don't have
- a 32-bit driver by then, solong ATI.
-
- BTW, I've just installed the SPP, but I've had to drop back to VGA
- mode for now. Although text scrolls much faster, it's not very nice
- on my eyes.
