If i'm not mistaken PCIGraphics is part of Hans' beta RadeonHD driver, so i'm not sure if "sending it to you" isn't prohibited

PCIGraphics is a standard AOS4.1 Monitor file, no harm to "send it"... Anyway it can be downloaded from there too:

(just don't copy the Picasso96Settings file in this case)

I can confirm that adding the D in the ToolTypes fixed this problem. I didn't know about that one, either. I haven't any PCIGraphics driver present in Devs/Monitors and apparently it's not needed (in my case, Radeon 9250).

@betatesters: Please report this bug in the bugtracker: since Update 3 the "D" is no more automatically added (or detected) when needed. It's still a bug, although once you know how to solve it, it's no longer a grave one...

I already submitted this as a bug a while before Update 4 came out. I'll amend my entry. :-)

As far as i know the purpose of "PCIGraphics" is permit to have two (or multiple?) graphics card on a single machine, if i put in monitors drawer only "siliconmotion 502" and "PCIGraphics" i can use both RadeonHD and Silicon but i don't understand why the mode 320x256 doesn't appear also with the add of the line MODE=320x256@60D, while if i put "Radeon" with or without PCIGraphics the resolution 320x256 appears in ScreenModePrefs, i hope it's clear now.
