Peter: No. The Viper will work with 3DS R3 right now but you should use the VIBCFG command line option to change the driver assigned for the materials-display and the render-display. Here's what I've got working now: Main-Display: Diamond Viper P9000 640x480x16 Materials-Display: VESA Compatibles 640x480x256 Render-Display: VESA Compatibles 640x480x256 And you need to load the VESA driver (VPRMODE VESA) before loading 3DS. There are lots of other combinations that undoubtedly work as well. The main thing is that the Viper won't run 3DS in native Diamond Viper P9000 mode at any resolution higher than 320×200 if you've got a color depth higher than 16 colors. That is supposed to be corrected by Vibrant with the new driver. David
