The driver name is >PVGA480.DRV in the file pub/pc/win3/sdl/sdldisk2.zip. Is that the one that appeared on comp.binaries.ibm.pc some time ago? That one works fine for me with 640x480x256 and 800x600x16, but I can't get the 1024x768x16 to work. I get a FatalExit somewhere in GetDeviceCaps (I can try it again and post the complete FatalExit dump it that would help anyone.). Seems to me like it's a software-only problem. Any ideas? Thanks, /Mikael
