- I've noticed the same banding with the build 53 drivers, but only for the
- Crystal font driver, not the mach32. (I thought the build 53 had both
- drivers...or is it just Crystal font?)
-
- I spoke to someone at KEA about their terminal emulation products, since
- the old version of Zstem I've got doesn't have interfaces to recent ATI
- boards...and they indicated that according to customer reports you have
- to use THE most up-to-date ATI drivers to make KEA's emulators work right.
-
- Just another data point...
