This may be silly, but how about using the resolution that your descktop is at?

600x800, or whatever it is...

Maybe your video card doesn't support 640x480?

I am just guessing!

[Brian Hoffman]

DaphneOptions=vldp -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480 -nohwaccel

Try changing the 640 480 resoultion specified to your actual desktop resolution. Perhaps the card isnt switching resolutions properly.

Looks like your off the hook Brian...If you're going to steal my answers, at least steal the one's where I'm actually right!

And he didn't say "thanx for your help anyway Brian"

Looks like you're trying to play Dragon's Lair High Definition version using an arcadevga & arcade monitor (if that's what lair_HD.txt means). Will this work ?

EDIT: Oops - Missed your post !
