3dFX Voodoo 3-2000 AGP card I had to buy for BeOS. I'd like to increase
this to 1024x768x8 if possible. However after following the method of
jmk@pla... higher resolutions  and polychrome don't display. Is
there a way to get more out of my card?

Almost any chip marked 3D should also be marked proprietary. I think some
Voodoo specs. are out there now, but in general, 3D cards are a problem.
The problem is that beyond standard VGA, every chip achieves the extensions
by a different, devious, method.

Add to this that I can't get my 800x600 laptop into full resolution, and
I _have_ got the chip manual.
