I have a diamond 2201 which I bought for a doz box I had to build. It works well in doz95 (a few things purturb it, but it is doz!). I tried X 3.1.2e just for grins and also had trouble. For me the problem was that xpm icons turned to grey mush, and the mouse was a large white square. Can't remember for sure, but I believe there was a vertical strip in first 16 or so pixels at left of screen. I suspect that this will work fine once the XFree86 people catch up with it. The chipset is some flavor of Trio 64+. The motherboard I tested in was an Intel Zappa II. -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | FreeBSD
