Re: Woody and X4.01 colors are grainy

Bingo!  Actualy a depth of 8.  I have read alot of docs and tried alot 
of changes to the config file and cannot get the darn thing to run at 
anything other than 8bits or any resolution other than the max on modes 
line of the screen for 8 bits.  It is a 3dfx3500 TV that ran great under 
Potato.  Any pointers on revising my config file?  Connections to a bug 
in X4? ...
