Not here. A) It writes modes my monitor can't do (or used to, haven't used it in forever) B) It won't write a multi-resolution file (so I can't switch resolutions on the fly). Granted it's easier, but I've had trouble with it.

Cool - maybe the original poster will be interested? I have a mach64 (Rage II+) which has been accelerated for quite a while now.
