I see from Your posting without that You mentioned it, that Your graphic  
adapter is either a

-       Spea Mirage P64
-       Miro (I don't know the fucking name)
-       maybe some OEM card?

Those cards are not constructed following to the S3-guidelines. They're not  
fully hardware compatible to any S3-guideline. You may happen to have  
several problems (for example using the S3-drivers of WP-software or vesa- 
modules). Be warned. SPEA and MIRO have added several electronic devices on  
their cards which make it nearly impossible to use the full set of S3  
commands. _That's why WARP does not recognize them as S3-cards anymore!_

There are pretty good drivers for the first on the list. Look out for  
osmip20*.zip on ftp or mail me. But there are other problems with the P64  
...

Mir�: Even if the company Mir� has build their headquarters 5 miles from  
where I am right now, I must warn You from awaiting OS/2 support by them.  
Mir� has stopped the OS/2 driver support for most of their products  
meanwhile. I beg they 're going down the drain. That would be best for most  
of us ...

If You have an OEM card or none of the above, You might try the drivers for  
the P64. Otherwise You're a looser.


Bye, Thomas
