I likewise am having some rather decent success with the SVGAlib (aout) Executor. One quick question for the SVGAlib gurus: I'm using an S3 based card (a Number Nine GXE64) that use a clock generation chip (the icd2061a) and as a result, I can't seem to get SVGAlib to use any resolution beyond 640x480. I've tried including a ClockChip line in the libvga.config file and that changes nothing. I've tried using a rather standard Clocks line, at which point Executor runs fine without displaying anything (i.e. I can Command-Q to exit the browser). Is there anyway to fake a working Clocks line or use such a board at anything other than the default clock rate? One other quick bug I seem to have found in executor itself. In Civilization, if you click on a space with units that are in Sentry mode (which should display a little dialog box allowing you to wake them up), executor/Civ seg faults. This is hyper annoying as it makes the use of sea vessels for transporting units impossible. --Toby Everett
