Is it correct to assume that the 256 modes are faster than 32k, 64k and 16M? E.g., they require fewer CPU cycles to scroll up? I'm using vga=775 on this machine, because 1280x1024 is the native resolution of the LCD screens, so the display is much sharper this way, and vga=773 on many other systems - both these modes are 256 colors. It seems like the 32k modes and above take longer to scroll up, but I haven't done any actual tests, it's just an impression. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
