    i plugged in my new voodoo 5 5500 but strangely it uses the voodoo4 not the voodoo5 driver?
    everything seems ok so far except herectic2 that has messed up colors and also booting from cd has the morphos logo with bad colors!

    Yes, it is a known iussue. The "old" driver that is in MorphOS 1.4.2 uses only one of the 2 VSA-100 chips that are on the Voodoo5 and see it as a simple Voodoo4

    Also this is a well known problem that has been fixed a lot of time ago, but you'll have to wait that MorphOS 1.5 comes out to have that single fixed driver. :-(
    This is the rules, you should know it at this point..

    I already answered you :-)

    The *fixed think* is the voodoo driver. It corrupts your screen and it has been fixed a long time ago, but as I already explained, you can't have the fixed driver until mos1.5 comes out.

    Good waiting...

    card! the intro screens screw up, and it locks sometimes. let me
    figure what i did with the settings to make it work... keep trying
    and tomorrow I will follow-up with my exact findings

    There's a patch available at Hyperion's website for registered users. I think Heretic II didn't work at all on Pegasos if you didn't have that patch installed!
