I have been trying to get the Elsa Gladiac Ultra 64MB to work without problems. Here is where I am at right now:
-I installed the video card into an ASUS A7M266 motherboard with T-Bird 1.333GHz
-Installed the drivers into Windows 98 SE, all games worked perfectly. The problem was the when the monitor entered sleep mode, the entire computer would freeze upon exit. This was solved by installing Elsa's latest driver.
-Now after installing the latest driver, any game that try to run in OpenGL mode locks up the entire computer. If I go back to the older driver, the games work again, and naturally...monitor sleep mode quits working.
The following is quoted from an Elsa email...these are BIOS settings that they recommended I change:
Primary Graphic adapter PCI/AGP
PCI/VGA pallet snoop Disabled
Video BIOS cachable Disabled
Video Ram Cachable Disabled
Video BIOS shadowing Disabled
System Bios Cachable Disabled
Agp Aperture Size Half your physical memory
Assign Irq to VGA Enabled
Agp Turbo Mode Disabled
Agp Fast writes Disabled
Also, Windows 2000 has similar problems when I try to run an OpenGL game. I am able to launch the games, but intermittently the screen will turn black and vertical green and red lines will appear and the computer is frozen. I never had problems like this with my previous adapter, the ASUS V6600. By the way, I have reinstalled Windows since the ASUS driver was installed...so there is no driver conflict going on there.
If anyone has any experiences with this graphics adapter and would like to help me out, I would appreciate it greatly.
Thank-you,
Ryan Lovelady
