No, I don't believe the Trio3d hardware supports anything above 24 bit color. The chipset supports a 32 bit wide mode, but that is 24 bits of color in sparse packing, meaning it stores the 24 color bits in 32 bits of memory.
No, vrefresh and hsync are monitor limits. Your log file shows that these are not set. I'd suggest trying to add the options: HorizSync 10 - 12 VertRefresh 12 - 14 Option "noddc" to your Monitor section in the config file. You must change the numbers to match the monitor you have installed. -- Kevin Jørn Christensen wrote: > > > Hi > > Let me know when you have had a chance of looking on the driver... > I have no expertise in this area, but I think it might be a problem for > the driver to allocate enough memory; as I said before the screen > reduces in size when I sellect 24 bpp and is perfect in 8bpp x 1280 x > 960! > > Could you explain to me why there's no advantage of 32 bit?
