I'm attempting to set up 3D Studio v3 on a 32Mb 486/66 running an MGA Impression 3Mb VL graphics board. On the advice of the sysop in the Matrox forum, I downloaded the v1.05 inline driver for 3DS v3 and now cannot configure the program properly. I run 3DS VIBCFG, select VIBRANT for the Main Display, then MGA as the graphics board. I select a resolution, and when I test the display, the Vibrant slide appears perfectly; however when I press any key or wait the ten seconds, I'm locked up with a black screen. The only resolution where this lockup doesn't happen is at 640x480x16. With 3Mb, the board is supposed to be able to do 1024x768x16 million… am I doing something wrong?
