5)  Windows 95b/98 ATI RAGE 128 display driver problems
 
The Windows 95b/98 ATI RAGE 128 display driver is capable of using
monitor timing data contained within Windows 95/98.  This data is
selected by configuring a monitor type at Windows 95/98 installation
time, or via the Settings page of the display properties sheet.  The
Windows 95b/98 ATI RAGE 128 display driver may incorrectly interpret
Windows 95b/98 monitor timing data for some older monitors that require
interlaced modes.  This may cause some options to be disabled.
A solution to this problem:  select one of the (Standard monitor types)
available via the Settings page of the Display Properties sheet.
 
In Windows 95/98, display drivers can be installed via the Add New
Hardware wizard (although the procedure detailed in section 3.0 is
recommended). When the Windows 95/98 ATI RAGE 128 display driver
is installed via the Add New Hardware wizard, the Settings page is
not installed into the ATI RAGE 128 display adapter property sheet.


=====================================================
6)  Windows 95/98 property page problems

When you adjust monitor settings in the Adjustment page of the Display
Properties sheet, your monitor could become unreadable.  If this occurs,
press the ESC key to return to your previous monitor settings.


=====================================================
7)  OpenGL Specific Issues
 
This driver release contains a full OpenGL ICD, which complies with the 
OpenGL 1.1 specification. Hardware acceleration is provided for most 
features contained in the specification at 16 bpp and 32 bpp.  If you are
configured for 8 bpp or 24 bpp OpenGL will not be accelerated.
