I'm installing 3DS r3 in a DEC XL with the S3 928 PCI video card. Fist of all, the built-in Vibrant driver for S3928 reports there's not an S3 card installed. I suppose this is because of the PCI bus in the XL. I have a problem with fonts using the RCPADI driver supplied with the S3. I get noisy squares instead of letters in the menus. The .doc file in the s3 drivers disk says that 3Ds r2 can't use the ADI fonts supplied for ACAD, as uses the card's internal drivers. r3 is not mentioned. Now I'm using the Vibrant's vesa compatibles driver for the main display and RCPADI for rendering & display. I works fine but I'm sure the suppplied ADI driver will improve the video output. Something more: The Vibrant Vesa drivers gives only 256 color modes. Is there any other in-line driver to give me more colour?
