7342.0. "Celebris XL 5133DP & S3-864" by MVMKT::KELLY (And the future holds...?) Thu Feb 06 1997 13:07

    I just installed a DIGITAL S3 864 (PCI 2 Meg) graphics board in my
    Celebris XL 5133 DP.  It replaced an old Diamond Stealth Pro (2 meg). 
    I'm running NT 4.0 with the S3 Campatible Graphics Drivers loaded and
    is displaying on a Philips 19" monitor.
    
    I had no problems with the older Stealth Pro except performance
    therefore the newer PCI Card.  The performance is much better but I now
    have mouse tracks, lost characters and lines on the screen.  I'm using
    1280 by 1024 (large fonts) at "Use hardware default" refresh setting.
    
    I have changed all of the refresh rates and screen sizes and still have
    the problem.
    
    I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this problem and hopefully
    solved it.  I have ordered an additional 2 MB DRAM with hopes that this
    will fix it.
    
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    
    /Bill

	Well it looks like you're right. I tried the drivers that use to be listed in .1 with even worst results. Should have ordered a different board... Oh well... /Bill P.S. Thanks for the help.
