- Don't run with ATI's drivers -- they apparently break with the Service
- Pack. Instead, use the stock 8514/A drivers that come with OS/2 (for
- 1024x768 in 256 colors). Configure your adapter for 72 Hz refresh
- rate (or less; noninterlaced is fine, if you monitor supports it)
- using the ATI setup disk.
