My 800×600 database lists three refresh rates – 54 Hz, 51 Hz, and 41 Hz (the latter for 24 bit depth) when set at higher rates, my screen won't go to 24 bit depth in testmode – perhaps another Zorro II problem??? I would appreciate it if you could check if your technical staff and get back on this. I'm using MagicWB myself, with an 8 color marble backdrop (and also noticed the redundant background redraw). At 8 bit depths the full redraw rate (for me) is more than two minutes! I have run Mand2000 (another mandelbrot program) on an 8 bit deep screen and I have to wait a LONG time to get the menu's to be drawn and erased from the screen. Atleast when it comes to running 256 pseudo Amiga EGS screens at Zorro II speeds, the intuition specific graphics is VERY slow indeed (I REALLY hope that someday when I get a magic Version 11 SuperBuster, these screens will be more useful). The latest incarnation of VistaPro now works fine. Unfortunately I've found that CanDo has problems also. I hope that they fix it!
