Hi,

I've Escape 2.1 running alright in 1280x1024 with 16 bits (I've also got
it to work with 16M colors).  
Driver version 2.20.055 and BIOS 2.9 although with earlier (2.13 and
2.14 drivers it worked also).

In CONFIG.SYS I've only the following OpenGL 3D settings (Pentium
(?)/Pentium Pro optimizing driver):
DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2OGL.SYS
SET OGL_VIDEO_MEM_SIZE=4

Regards,
Ilkka Karppinen

PTW.  Setting Fast Single Buffering Enabled in Escape makes atleast 3D
Lines draw more quickly.
