I've got a 66MHz 486 with VESA LB, Orchid Fahrenheit VLB 1MB display card, UltraStor 34F LB SCSI adapter in a CONTAQ motherboard with UMC chipset. My problem is that in windows in the accelerated modes if I make a window over about half the screen height, when I move it I get vertical lines left from the window outline as it is being dragged. Occasionally I also get a small rectangle picked up by the mouse cursor which then moves with the mouse cursor for a while and then disappears. My first thought was that it was a driver problem but after a few calls to Orchid, they claim the problem is with the mother board chipset and that UMC is working on it. While not overly suspicious, I'd like to hear from other people with this video card. Can you run in all modes, particularly 1024x768x256 and not have the above problem? Incidently, the people at Orchid have been quite helpful and the card is very fast. Ralph
