Ginny,
I also just installed a Diamond Stealth V-RAM video card into my 486/33 and
experienced precisely the same inability you describe in seeking to run
Animator Pro at 640×480 resolution. I called Diamond tech support and was
told that I need a free BIOS upgrade for my "new" Stealth card, which they
promised to send immediately.
Diamond has not only turned out a number of BIOS upgrades in the past month
or two, but they've moved several generations beyond even the latest "beta"
drivers on their own BBS (from Beta 1.11 to 2.4 or something like that).
I'm led to believe that the new BIOS alone may be enough to achieve VESA
compatibility with Animator Pro.
It seems rather surprising to receive a brand new card so recently released
and discover its already a few generations old. Here's hoping that the
promised BIOS update does the trick…
