I have tested the original voodoo.card 4.13 and pci.library 5.1 (from my
original MMCD) and same wrong colors problems when using a RGBA screen and
launch a SDL program on fullscreen.

the RGBA screenmode with this original MMCD files have also wrong colors.

also the bernd sdlpengui run little slower than with the last elbox drivers.


Maybe you have an older MMCD than me (It's possible because I have baught
the mediator in 1999).

Maybebernd made an error on his libs or port but for sure there are colors
problems with RGBA screenmode with elbox drivers :-(




Hey, hey, 10 years with elbox products without problems !!! Thanks a lot
Elbox ;-)

It's with the help of elbox products I have continued to use an amiga until
now....

@Mrod It looks like P96 works well with the Mediator except for the bugs that Elbox hasn't fixed in their drivers. They seem to ignore the bugs in new driver...
