At least some of the problems you describe seem likely to be video driver
issues, though. I gave up using TIGA because of driver problems, and I was
using the TIGA drivers supplies with WIN 3.1! I had two TIGA boards — one
from NEC, and one from Hercules. Both now gather dust. They were just two
non-standard for my needs, which include development. I found that most
Windows development environments were ignoring TIGA. I guess it's considered a
"special purpose" area. <g>
You are correct that there is a lot of software that is hostile to >256 colors.
As for resolutions >640×480, I have no problems running TB or Nautilus at
800×600 or 1024×768. (I haven't, however, tried to create larger pages.)
Maybe it's your TIGA drivers <G&D>.
There's a new version of TB in the works; I'll have to check to see how they're
handling higher resolutions and color depths.
