Doug,

The fixes which we made to the VESA driver were specifically to address
the lack of reliable support in the existing VESA driver for the higher
resolutions on some cards.  This updated version should solve your
problem with the Diamond Viper VLB card.

We do not have an anonymous ftp site for Cadkey since we do not presently
have a dedicated IP address.  It is possible to ftp, but this requires
knowing how to secure a temporary IP address via SLIP.

If you send me a private e-mail to kenp@cadkey.com requesting the driver,
I will attempt to mail it to you using uuencode.

Good luck.
