Keith:

I downloaded the S3 Trio64 drivers from IBM's Web Site and they worked very 
well.  I tried the OS/2 drivers from the vendor, NO luck!  One word, you have
to follow the instructions provided with the drivers and follow them to the T.

Once installed they work perfectly and I have not experienced any difficulty and
I have tested them in a variety of resolutions and modes.

Good Luck,
Sue
