Yes, I too have a Viper and am mighty pissed off. I can't even get
mine to work in the mono mode! I'm thinking about removing it from
my machine and placing it out front in the path of a fast moving
truck! At this point I'd be very happy to work in 640x480 mono,
but alas, even this seems impossible... If only Zeos would switch
and sell a _real_ video card. (Though the Viper works mighty fast
under Windoze -- that is after I downloaded the new drivers.)
Sorry I wasn't more helpful, but if anyone has any info, or even
their favorite type of high speed truck, send me email!
