Ohter than a bit of slowness...(which is still lightyears faster than it
was before)... I've been running in 32bit mode without a hitch. I'm
setting mode 18 from the bootx extension and am extremely pleased with it.
Only thing I could ask more for is the hardware accel. to be put in.
Havn't tried any lower color settings yet.
