Well, it works just fine for me at 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024.  No
problem.  Maybe because I was just running games with the thing.  (Maelstorm
is the best Mac game out there.  Unfortunately, I cannot stay alive for 10 or
even 5 minutes.)  I have try 1.99p and 1.99q and both are fine.

My note of the 18th of January got into confusion in its part about
Marathon, so allow me to repeat that part:

Marathon 1 had abnormal response in keyboard only mode (sideway motion)

Marathon 1 worked fine in keyboard+mouse mode (slightly jerky tho)

Marathon 2 crashed during installation

I run a P100 with 12meg memory allocated to executor

Have a nice week-end*

I have appletalk enabled in my Linux 1.3.55 kernel, and am running netatalk.
Will I be able to see my appletalk network from the chooser of Executor 1.99?
I haven't ordered the full registered copy yet, and this is a big
consideration.

Boy, it's interesting how I've already tried that before
and it still doesn't work. Not everything has such a
simple solution.. Don't quit your day job.

Greetings fellow Executors.

How do you get sound out of 1.99q?  I have heard reports that this is
possible, but Executor remains quiet for me.  :-(

I have  a SoundBlaster Pro-compatible sound card.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

I can run 1.99q on my system (486/66 w/Trident 9440AGi PCI video), and
it does that weird thing where the machine goes dead for about 2 mins
before it starts, but after the delay everything is ok. So, you might
check some other things besides the video card....
