Hi all,

I am tearing my hear out over my 760CD trying to install the latest Trident
Cyber9320 VL video driver from IBM. I've read all the on-line tech support
docs related to this on IBM's web site, to no avail. The generic Trident
driver Windows offers only does 800x600x256 colours. I'd really like to get
16-bit colour, so I've grabbed the latest driver disk from IBM's support
site.

First, I've tried to install it on Win95 OSR2 (Readme says it's supported).
Next, I've tried it on Win98 beta 2. In each case, the driver installs
itself, reboots the machine, and when Windows reloads I get a "Your display
adapter is not configured properly" message. :(

What should I do to get 800x600x64k colours?

Thanks for your help,

E@
