I'm running at 1024x768, 16m colors, 4mb Matrox Mill (and also 8mb on another
machine).  I had to add the following lines to my config.sys

REM *** OpenGL correction for Matrox video driver problem
SET OGL_BIT_COUNT=32
SET OGL_SCANLINE_SIZE=4096


Works fine now.  DIVE and ENDIVE enabled.  Warp Connect, FP35, 2.20.055
drivers.

Needless to say, it runs MUCH faster on my new P-II 400mhz 128meg machine than
on my P133mhz 96meg machine.  But the OGL fixes to config.sys did the trick.
