A menu on the first screen is entitled SuperVGA modes. I have a Kelvin 64 Video card, what drivers do I need to use a higher screen resolution, and where can I get hold of them. -Steve

>> A menu on the first screen is entitled SuperVGA modes. Than menu will cycle through all the video modes that Imagine detects from your video card. Thats all that menu selection does. >> I have a Kelvin 64 Video card, what drivers do I need to use a higher screen resolution, and where can I get hold of them. << Imagine 3.0's screen resolution for it's editors is locked into 640×480 16colors. This will change in Imagine 3.2, where you'll have 256 colors and the ability to use higher resolutions. Imagine WILL however display images of any resolutions that your video card can handle. The menu selection is used to show you what Imagine detects. If Imagine isn't detecting all of your video modes, check to see if your video card is VESA 1.2 compliant. If not, see if you can get updated drivers from the card's manufacturer. If you have no luck with that, you can always use the Shareware UNIVESA video drivers available in the GRAPHDEV forum. -GreG

GreG, >>>This will change in Imagine 3.2, where you'll have 256 colors and the ability to use higher resolutions. When is it going to be out? Pawel BTW. Just today I got my CGW and there is a write-up on Imagine and your name and views are all over the story…

Pawel, Imagine 3.2 should be out in a few weeks to those that are part of the Constant Update program. >> Just today I got my CGW… Cool! Which issue is that? November or December? -GreG

GreG, Thanks for the Imagine info. Since they decided to increase the resoulution I will get on their constand update program… (until now I was waiting for the IM 3.0) I have a very hard time seing what is going on with the mesh with the low rez. screen… The CGW issue that features the "other" (than 3DS) programs is the November issue… Seems that the guy who wrote it has spent quite some time on CS. <BG> Pawel
