IM> What colour depth are you using -- with only 2 megs you certainly won't be able to get 1024x768 at 24 bpp, and I'm not sure that even 16 would work (back in antiquity I recall that an 8Mb card could not do 1280x1024 at 24 -- and that is only an apparent 3.75Mb). So my guess is you'll only get the full resolution in 8bpp. -- +------------------------+-------------------------------+---------+ | James Tappin | School of Physics & Astronomy | O__ | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | University of Birmingham | -- \/` | | Ph: 0121-414-6462.
