I'm trying to get VESA modes working on Imagine 3.0. Just got it the other day, and I'm impressed with goodies galore, but I can't seem to get 640x480x256 or higher on my display. How do you properly set the high color words in the preferences editor? And do you need to load a TSR to get VESA modes going at all? If so, I need to track one down for my office's Cirrus Logic 5426 VGA. I tried it at home on a Diamond Speedstar Pro just to see how it worked, and once I put the TSR in memory, Imagine gave me 640×480, 800×600, and 1024×768 all at 8 bit color. Still couldn't get high or true color going, though. Suggestions?
