Here's some more info I just received from Vibrant. I received a file at the
same time (which takes a day or 2 to get posted here) called vg000004.vdc. It
should be on the Vibrant BBS though (512/918-3411).
"This will fix the blank screen problem on both the Stealth 64 VRAM
and Stealth 64 Video VRAM cards. We've discovered a separate problem
with dashed lines on the Video VRAM cards, but I don't know if it
happens in 3DStudio.
STLBIOS.EXE is for the Video VRAM (968) cards, and S64BIOS.EXE is for
the Stealth 64 VRAM (964) cards. They don't work on all PCI systems."
Also, some instructions on how to use a vibrant.VDC file
"How to use a Vibrant loadable VDC
Vibrant VDC loadables are versions of the Vibrant driver code that can be
loaded at runtime, instead of being compiled into the product. The main
advantage of this approace is that the driver code can be updated
independently of the rest of the Vibrant application.
Using a loadable VDC is very easy.
(1) Copy the loadable VDC file (which will have a name in the form of
VG0000??.VDC). It is suggested that you put it in the same directory
as your Vibrant application. (for example, D:\SOFTENGN)
(2) Set the environment variable VDCPATH to the directory containing the
loadable VDC (for example, set VDCPATH=D:\SOFTENGN).
That's it. When the loadable VDC is in the directory specified by VDCPATH,(or
in your current directory), you will load that version of the driver, instead
of the version in your Vibrant application."
Hope this new info gets you going (let us know, thanks).
