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?

I'm not sure what your immediate problem is, but in general I've
found that running the Main Display in higher that 256 colors can
cause problems. There is nothing in the display that uses more that
256 and sometimes the color swatch for Object color doesn't work at
higher than 256.
Maybe that will cure your problem as well?
