Greetings to all,

Happy new year, for start!

I've recently acquired Intergraph's Intense3D Wildcat 4000 as a gift, so i
decided to put it in my sister's computer, unter the moto "Why the hell
wouldn't i have a card that cost 3000$ working". OGL works perfectly, but
card refuses to work under direct draw. Here are some errors:

Putting newest Direct X hasn't helped, nor has decreasing of hardware
acceleration did any good. As i see it, card simply does not support any
color depth except 32 bit. However, it makes no sense that card can
"give" 32 bit color depth, but not 16 or 8 bit (well, it obviously works
under DOS in only few colors). Any help or hint would be appriciated.

FuT set!
 
It may not seem to make any sense to you, but that's the way the card works
if I recall correctly. It doesn't support <32bit color depth or DirectDraw,
it was designed in the late 90s when DirectDraw wasn't a requirement in the
market it was intended for.

Huh... :'(

Great, at least i won't bother with it any more. Well, i guess it'll just
go back to the drawer... Thx for heads up. :)
