>> The screen redraw in R2 is less than 5 seconds, where as in R3 it's >> 30-35 seconds. I'm using a Diamond Viper VLB graphics card, 800×600 with >> 256 colors. In r2 it was set up with RCPADI whereas in R3 it's setup as >> a Vibrant compantible board… Something is seriously wrong here! First, check to see that you are using the same driver on your Vibrant configuration as you did when using it as an ADI in R2. If there is that much of a difference, remember, you can still use the R2 driver as an RCPADI for the display screen if you want, but something else is going on here. Could R2 have been set up for a 16 color mode and R3 for a 256 color mode? Again, an unfair test! We have found the VIbrant drivers to be extremely fast in R3, so I'd look to see that they are set up correctly. And once you get them working, just wait until what Vibrant's Liquid Speed does to them! Talk about fast redraws! Easily double the speed in the 3D Editor!
