It does that on the S3/801 based system I'm on - although I'll try it on my Mach32-based system Monday, which hopefully will work. I'll make a report on it from my new net address (?@sundance.sjsu.edu) next week... (perhaps the version should be called Executor/Linux-mach32 for a little while :) I hope the problem gets fixed soon, and that it will also work on regular VGA cards... - Chad
