- No, it's not the seamless drivers. I'm using the non-seamless Trident
- 800x600x256 drivers, and my ini file grows like the budget deficit. (I
- shrank it with one of the inicopiers yesterday, but I'm at 950k already...)

- Trident? You're using Trident drivers? Anybody else with Trident 800x600
- drivers and growing ini files out there?
