Hi all,

There has been some recent discussion about the ability to display more than
256 colours on some SVGA boards.  This is news to me (great news!).

Does anyone have some code they would be willing to share with us all and a
list of boards that can support more than the standard number of colours.  Any
detailed info on exactly how this is done would be useful too.

I need a new board, and we have the Tseng 4000 at work - I was going to buy one
of these, but if I could get more performance out of a different similar cost
board, I'd change my mind!!!  BTW, the Tseng was mentioned as a possibility in
some posts.  I have read the literature that came with it but it didn't mention
this feature - or else I have missed it.

cheers,
Daf.
