- I tried the ATI 640x480x256 drivers that came with OS/2 2.1 beta. They
- almost work, but I get "sparkles", or colored dots on the screen. The
- number of dots increases steadily as I use the system. I had a similar
- problem with the 256c drivers that ATI released a while back. Otherwise,
- the speed was okay except that DOS/OS2 Window scrolling was pretty slow.
-
- Anyone have these working with a "generic" ATI VGA Wonder 512K? If so,
- what message does yours give at boot time? I get:
-
- VGA 1024, BIOS V5-1.00
-
- Maybe I could upgrade the video BIOS?
