Hi all, 

I've got a Trident SuperVGA card (w/512K) and I can't get 640x400x256 to
work.  When I try it, it warps my screen to give multiple flickering images.

Also, it works in 800x600x16 but reduces my screen by about .5 cm top/bottom
and about 1.5 cm left/right margins.

Also, in 1024x768x16, I get _Major_ flickering.

If anyone has any clues please let me know.

By the way, yes, I have gotten the Trident drivers from cica..., that's how
I'm getting 800x600 to work at *all*, the drivers that came with it didn't
work.

Thanks again,

Iqbal
