Hi. I've upgraded to r3 and I'm not able to set the Vibrant drivers to do the following: Main Display @ 1280x1024x256 Material Display @ 1280x1024x256 Rendering Display @ 640x480x24bits The video board is a Cirrus Logic with 2MB RAM If one of these isn't isn't I'll be glad if a can be @1024x768x256. Can anyone give a clue about how to set the resolution of the vibrant drivers. With r2 I used RCPADI with the Panacea TurboDLD drivers. B. regards Luis Vale

Luis You need to configure the driver by typing "3ds vibcfg". This will take you into the Vibrant configuration screen, its pretty obvious from there. I looked in the Cirrus section, the largest seems to be 1024×768, there is no point in using more than 640×480 for Medit, in fact you really want more colours rather than more pixels. Presumably with 2Mb on board it will do 24 bit so set it for that. Grahame

Grahame Thanks for the info. <<I looked in the Cirrus section, the largest seems to be 1024×768, there is no point in using more than 640×480 for Medit, in fact you really want more colours rather than more pixels. Presumably with 2Mb on board it will do 24 bit so set it for that.>> With 2MB I do 800x600x24bits and 1024x768x65536 colors. Yhe reason I wanted the larger resolutions is only a mather of habit. I can live with 1024×768. But on a 21" monitor….. Thanks B. regards Luis Vale
