Hi guys, I just reinstalled GP2 on my most recent machine, p2-350 w/128ram, AGP8mg + Voodoo2 (not for GP2!)... Everything is fine, now that I've installed the #&&## DOS drivers for sound & CD...So I can go thru Windows or DOS reboot... But like the title says, I can't have SVGA mode... the button is greyed out & disabled... Any ideas on how to fix that? I already had <25fps on my other machine (p-133) in VGA... TIA, Jocelyn Saisons GP2 Seasons: www.total.net/~jocad/GP2

This means that GP2 can't detect VESA 2.0 drivers. Try the UNIVESA utility. Regards K.S. Br?nnick
what video card do you have?

It's an onboard SIS626 8mg AGP w/3D I heard it's incompatible with GP2... Confirmation someone? TIA Jocelyn
