I'm using UniVBE51a. I don't know what video board you have, but apparently Mach64 boards avoid the "annoying white border". Even better, they seem to run really well with Executor. One user got 8 bit per pixel globe frames over 1000 frames per second on his Mach64 (I can only get 950 fps on my P90/PCI Mach32 with VBE 2.0). When you break 1000 fps under Globe its frames-per-second display goes blank. Heh. -Mat
