Can GP2 use VESA 2.0?

My Videocard (ATI Mach 64) supports vesa 1.2 in it's PROM. I have a TSR that makes it support vesa 2.0. With the TSR games like Duke 3rd run about 20% faster. But GP2 runs exactly the same. Does anyone know if GP2 can be made to run vesa2.0? Ie is there a command line switch, or a setup utility or something? GP2 is supposed to be 'leading edge', surely it supports Vesa 2.0????? -- Markus

This is the same situation with just about all the cards that have come out in the past year and a half. Unfortunately no. Its video code needs to be redone. It's 16-bit banked VGA code which is a leftover from GP so it seems. I could be wrong. Leading edge!!???! Well, its 3D-graphics and car physics algorithms might be. But its video coding is not. Hopefully, this will change with the an update. =========================================================== Alex Fernandez MTS Lucent Technologies No. Andover, MA email: tel: (508)960-6510 ===========================================================

Unfortunately, leading edge means 'leading edge of not releasing a game on time'. It appears that Mr. Crammond has missed out these (are they features?) things that are important to the players. Network support, for one. _________ Richard Sobey <http://www.conad.demon.co.uk>
