Should this work with a Mach64 card on an UltraSPARC? If so, how? It doesn't offer that as an option when configuring.

S3 Trio 64V+ (86C765) 8 bit colour
I have been trying to configure my PC with greater than 8 bit colour. If I use a resolution of greater than 640 x 480, I get a ghost image of objects displayed on the screen. The screen also flickers the ghost images a lot. I have tried different monitors. We also have an earlier version of the IBM PC 350 with a std. Trio 64 chip set which also experiences that same problem. When used previously with SuSe 6.4, I believe the PC worked with 16 bit colour at 800 x 600. Has anyone else experienced similar problems? I put the Trio64V+ bug lines in the XF86Config file, which I think has allowed it to use 16 bit colour in 640 x 480 mode. P.S. I don't currently subscribe to this list so make sure you CC me or send a message directly to me. Thank you! - . John Kerr Anderson `:::' ... ..
