Hi,

just one question for ya'all:

is a pgx32 the best graphics card an ultra5 supports?  mine really seems
to be laboring at 1280x1024 and 24bit TrueColor.  i have to keep these
settings too, otherwise i get colormap flashing with my sunpci if the
depth is 8bit or 24/8 pseudo and because i have a samsung lcd, any input
res other than 1280x1024 is somehow scaled and text looks really
crappy.  anyway, depending on what backdrop i use, i can see refresh
lines in the background that flicker just enough to drive me batty (the
one with the dolphins is really bad!).  of course i can just pick
non-offending backdrops, but since in the near future i'll be doing a
lot of cad work on this machine it wouldn't hurt to upgrade anyway.

thanks!
-brian
