I'm running 4.0.3.
Have you looked in the archives ? If you have a Matrox card (or a 3Dlabs Oxygen, or a #99 card) use the "Overlay" option in the device section of your config file. If not you can't. I have half an idea how to implement 8bit Pseudo on most 24bit cards, but I'm not even going to start looking at it until 4.2.0 is out. -- Dr. Andrew C.
