First, sorry for this long delay. I hope the thread is still "alive". Yes, I've been using RCPADI drivers supplied with the S3 for true color at 640×480 (1Mb) with no problems … until now. This is an extract of my adventures in Vibland these days. Release 1.0.1 did nor support S3 PCI. r1.0.1 works OK with any res-color combination except True color. So I've been using these drivers for materials and main display combined with RCPADI for 24 bit rendering. A week ago I downloaded your last version. Not only it doesn't manage true color, now 65.??? color modes (16bit) are failing too, giving errors like "AT&T VGA Hardware checks fail" or 1601 "S3 failed to initialize". Afortunately I kept the old drivers before installing 1.0.3., but now I can't make the 1.0.2. version work fine again. When I'm in the materials screen (Vibrant 640x480x65000) and make a Last Render or a View Image, the software have to toggle between the vibrant driver and the RCPADI I'm using for render/display. The first change, from Vibrant to RCPADI is OK. But once the image is displayed, when going back to the materials editor the system crashes. And Deep Hang, I've to _reset_. It looks like a hardware fail. This happens only since I installed the last release of your drivers, so I must have done something wrong. A help with this? Some data: VGA DECpc(S3) 928 PCI 1Mb Ram, with Video DAC support (24bit) Running in a DECpc XL 560 with the S3 86C928PCI VGA drivers for ADI. Thanks!
