- Looks like I wasn't detailed enough the first time... Yes, I'm on 1.99o,
- for both DOS and Linux, and using UNIVBE for DOS (I also tried without).
- Before I start Marathon (The 4L demo or something -- I just downloaded it
- from ftp.bungie.com), the prefs panel says 256 colors, and I've even
- tried starting executor with "-bpp 8", but Marathon still changes to
- 1bpp. It's my assumtion that this is a Screen Mode Detection routine
- gone amuck or some such... My graphics card is the ATI mach64 card (PCI),
- any ideas?
