S3 Trio 64V+ (86C765) > 8 bit colour

[John Kerr Anderson <jkanders@svsu.edu>]

I have been trying to configure my PC with greater than 8 > bit colour.
If I use a resolution of greater than 640 x 480, I get a ghost image of
objects displayed on the screen.  The screen also flickers the ghost
images a lot.  I have tried different monitors.  We also have an earlier
version of the IBM PC 350 with a std. Trio 64 chip set which also
experiences that same problem.  When used previously with SuSe 6.4, I
believe the PC worked with 16 bit colour at 800 x 600.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems?  I put the Trio64V+ bug lines
in the <XF86Config> file, which I think has allowed it to use 16 bit
colour in 640 x 480 mode.

P.S. I don't currently subscribe to this list so make sure you CC me or
send a message directly to me.  Thank you!
