Fisher >// fish@gemed.ge.com >// uunet!crdgw1!gemed!fish >// sun!sunbrew!gemed!fish I have the same problem. I upgraded to 1.1 ($50) so I could use the 800x600 mode of this card to find out that there was a bug in ISCs driver which will not be corrected until 1.2 (another $50?). I hope they also put in support for the 1024x763/16 color mode of the VGA Wonder. From what I understand, the problem is ISC purchased one of ATIs earlier versions of the board for testing. They did not know there were a few revisions of the card out there. Since it is a popular card with a good price I am sure ISC will now start to fully support it.
