its funny, it was easier to get the PAL modes to work than the NTSC (im
on NTSC, I changed the code for the PAL modes, got someone else to test
it and it worked with only a few changes).

For what it is worth, I am no longer making any changes for VT1625 - the
patch available is probably the last one you will see from me - a couple
months ago I did something to hose my commell board so I don't have a
test platform - it would be nice to submit the patch I have into the
source stream, it is better than what was there before, although not
perfect.

Eventually I may get back to trying to resurrect my commell board (I'm
hoping I just need an OS reinstall), but its use in my home has been
replaced, so the board may just get sold.  Its too bad, I was really
close to getting NTSC 720x480Over working.

cheers,
