I recently bought a Diamond Speedstar Pro SE PCI card with 2mb of ram(Alpine Series). Unfortunately there is no vibrant driver, and without one i might as well just buy another card because i can only run Studio with 16 colors at 640×480. So if anyone from Autodesk is reading this please let me know. I'm a little frustrated because on the box for the video card it says it supports 3DStudio, but they only mean through the panacea driver which does not work past 640×480(unless i'm not setting it up right – but i did try it many times with the help of Diamond tech support). So please anyone, especially those reading from Autodesk will there be a Vibrant driver for this card, or should i buy another card?

What version of the Vibrant driver do you have.

Tim, What chip set does the card have? (S3, CL, ET4000, …) The Vibrant driver has a native version of most chip sets. – Steve Ormonde

" Diamond Speedstar Pro SE PCI" I added your request to the wishlist we keep for future support. In the meantime, if you have a FAX machine, you should check out the Autodesk Fax Info sheet on 3DS and Vibrant drivers: 415/507-5595, document # 917 "Troubleshooting Display Information".
