	Speaking of RealTek, I've got an SVGA card from them as well, circa
December 1991 (when I bought my 486/33).  I've been trying for days to track
down this company --- does anyone know if they're still in the video board
market and where their tech support might be now?  The manufacturer of my PC
can't even come up with a phone number anymore.

	Any help with locating RealTek is greatly appreciated.

P.S.  My problem is that I recently realized that although I'm getting 24-bit
color in DOS, it is not so in Win 3.1 --- this could be symptomatic of the need
for a TSR much like Adrian's above, or something more involved.  I really don't
know, so I'd prefer to get tech support from RealTek.
