Anyone have any luck getting updated video drivers for the Cirrus 5426
video card? Several friends of mine with IBM Aptivas experience frequent
lockups when trying to run Myst.

Myst tech support said there are some new Cirrus drivers for that card,
but I can't find them at their BBS or FTP site.

Thanks,

Hi Brian

you've looked at ftp.cirrus.com? Or their BBS at (510) 440-9080?
As I recall, the files look something like CL542x... but it's been
awhile since I looked for any. I believe the v1.43 drivers _are_ on the
ftp site, though.

If not sure which file, try emailing ui0su...@corp.cirrus.com

Heheh that figures that MYST would have trouble with a Cirrus card.
Here, try one of my Achenar cards with PCI bus ;^)

(sorry, couldn't resist...)

Thanks Dave,

I'll try the email route. What I didn't describe clearly in my
previous message was that Myst tech support said there were new
drivers dated Dec. 94. All I could find were some from much earlier in
'94 (like January) and I already have those.
