Just a thought, Mike, in my experiance, anytime others are getting drivers to work and I can't I immediately look at the high memory area and what regions are being excluded. This applies to both Himem.sys/emm386 and QEMM. Also, I've had things screwed up in CMOS which caused the video garbage you described. When in doubt you can exclude a whole major area of contigous hi memory but for me that is not efficient and defeats the purpose of high memory managers. I have spent hours tweaking excludes to the point of just before introduction of picture destruction. I'm using the Panacea driver and it works fine but has some limitations on my 928 S3 board. Chris has promised a new upgrade to expand the 24bit capabilities but I haven't heard from him lately. I hope this insight to my work will help. Good luck!
