  I have a CL-GD5428 VLB with 1 meg of RAM (upgradable to 2 megs).

  I have never had a crash (due to the drivers), but I have some _weird_
problems that seem to be driver related.  Has anyone else experience any of
the following?:

  1.	SetRes says "The graphics adapter does not have enough memory to
  	support the custom display driver.  Previous custom display driver
  	installation options will be ignored."  Then, only 640 x 480 by 16 is
  	choosable.  I am running in 1024 x 768 by 256! 

  2.	Word for Windows 6.0a fails to show a character or two every now and
  	again.  They are there, and are visible after doing a Print Preview
	(which also shows all characters).  This may just be one of the 8,000
	known bugs... Thanks MS.

  * These events (1 and 2) take place under BOTH v1.32 and v1.41 drivers. *

  3.	idchip.exe (in DOS) returns varying information.  Originally I got
	a 5428 chip reported, just now I get:

  The BIOS reports a CL-GD5426 chip.
  This is a True-Color VGA GUI Accelerator.
  The BIOS Version Number is 1.48.
  There is 1M Byte of Display Memory installed.
  Detected VESA Version 1.2, with support for the following VESA modes:
  Mode 108:     0 X    0,   Character Mode
  Mode 1c8:     0 X    0,   Character Mode
  Mode 1d3:     0 X    0,   Character Mode

	I have also had it report "2M Byte of Display Memory installed."!
	Also, why do the modes show "0 X 0"?

  The card was sold as "AcerGraph L28".  Any information you can provide is
  welcomed.  Anyone else have similar problems?
