Oh yes. You need to install the "PowerStorm" package on the Associated
Products CDs. Works like a charm on my 433a @ 1280x1024. (Yes, a 433a
with a somewhat complex hack)
Expect 2D to be somewhat slow considering the Cirrus 2D-chipset on this
baby. I don't know about the 3D, yet.

I don't know why your compiles are failing. Make sure you have the
development libraries installed correctly and that you have a valid path
to them.
