#Viper setup for R3
4 messages in this thread
I have a Viper VLB 2MB, and am interested in suggestions for good
quality, but inexpensive drivers for 3DS R3. I've had problems with
Diamond's VESA drivers, and am uncertain on their support for 3DS (if
there is any). Please help.

John, if your Viper has the Weitek VGA chip, it should work fine with the
Vibrant in-line drivers. If it's one of the newer ones with the Oak
Technologies VGA chip, you may have to wait for the Vibrant driver update,
promised to be down-loadable from here as soon as it is released.

I also have a viper, it works, but only in vesa mode, set vibcfg to
vibrant,vesa comp.,what ever res. you chose. and add the line
c:\viper\vprmode.exe vesa to your autoexec.bat, assuming that is your path.
I have a frame buffer so 8 bit modes are not a problem I just render to my
frame buffer. other then that wait for the new drivers, but don't
hold you breath!<g>.

The new VESA ones from Diamond, or Vibrant ones for the Viper?
I believe that there are some Viper 24bit VESA drivers in shareware.. Have you
seen those?
No accelerated support, eh? Too bad.
