I installed the recently posted Windows 3.0 display drivers for the
Paradise VGA chipset.  There were three drivers supplied:

640*480  256 color
800*600   16 color
1024*768  16 color

The 800*600 driver works nicely.  The other two work to some extent, but
not very well.  I get color changes, distortion on the display, and
foreground and background colors interact strangely.  My VGA is a clone
using the Paradise chipset.  It has 512K RAM and seems to run conventional
stuff pretty well.  I'm using a Matsushita ViewPerfect 3 multisync monitor.

Has anybody else used those modes successfully?  I'm trying to pinpoint
whether the problem is in the drivers or my hardware.
