Gee, it sure would be nice to have some indication of what version you are
running. The latest version that I know of shows the following: 

 Length  Method   Size  Ratio   Date    Time   CRC-32    Name
 ------  ------   ----  -----   ----    ----   ------    ----
   1636  Implode    557  66%  10-30-90  17:46  230a459b  oemsetup.inf

BTW, the 800x600x256 is still SLOW. When asked, ATI indicated that there are
no plans to speed up the driver. Perhaps if more people complained something
would get done.
