#Vibrant Drivers
Jeff,
I did get a response from the same message left for ATI which explains
why it happens, but not really what they intend to do about it. We Will see.
See Below.
The current drivers for 3D Studio 3.0 are VESA drivers, they are
not mach64 specific and do not make use of the accelerated
features of this card. ATI does not write these drivers.
The delay you are experiencing is due to the way the VESA modes
are implemented on the mach64 card. The delay occurs because the
mach64 initializes and verifies ALL available features, all
available colour depths, resolutions and fallback refresh rates
that are configured.
We are investigating ways to reduce this initialization time.
