Not true. I have two systems remember that. I am for ed to use 640 x 480 on
the P3 500 but on the P2 300 I get 1024 x 768 and it works perfectly.
I have a further problem, I cannot even get 640 x 480 to work in version
7.1. I can not get ANY GUI to work in 7.1 not even VGA on EITHER system. As
I said 1024 x 768 works on the P2 with the Maxi Gamer graphics card and not
even VGA works over there.
The problem is it fails to give me ANY CHOICE WHATSOEVER at the configure x
step. It should at least give me chance to take the lower level.
I have tried and tried with Xconfigurator and the other termanal
configurator programs but I get the message I posted about card data base
information missing.
This happens even trying to configure from the command line.
I guess you hit the nail on the head. Why bother with 7.1 if I am not going
to get any gain.
Well I though at least I would get the mouse wheel support. Once you get
used to the wheel it s VERY hard to do without it.

At what step do I do this. I nver saw such a choice. Are you talking during
Xconfigurator?
