I've been give an ISA S3-924 card (badged v24 Bitblaster), 
which comes with 1mb of onboard vram.

As long as I use it in standard VGA mode in either DOS or 
Windows (3.11 drivers) its rock solid, but slow. However, as
soon as I try to use the supplied drivers (and those 
borrowed from a friend with the same card) I get bits of 
stuff appearing over the screen, like broken vertical lines.
I've tried various resolutions but the problem remains. 
Everything else appears stable though.


Has anyone got any idea on what is the matter and a 
possible fix as well please?


Regards
