- It is very well possible if you use the wrong screenmode. Some games and
- programs don't check the actual resolution, just assume it's always 320 or
- 640 horizontal. My drivers have 656 horizontal for example and therefore
- some (usually older) games will display garbage. Early versions of
- ShapeShifter did this too. The solution is to boot with no startup sequence
- and maybe OCS/ECS, since then the new drivers will not get loaded.

- You can adjust that with MonED 3a, available on Aminet. My drivers have all
- screenmodes centered as well (I used MonED too). Anyone said AWeb? :) It is
- in beta stage now and might not work correctly yet. You should know that
- Donovan ;) Apart from that, the fault very likely lies with a datatype, not
- with a screenmode or driver.

- The driver package I made contains some WB 3.1 programs, else it might not
- work on all systems. So I asked for permission from Dr. P. Kittel and he
- referred me to their lawyer. I called him and gave my home address and
- phone number. Since three months or so I have received no response at all.
- So until I get around to repackaging the archive, harassing them again or they
- deem it worth the while to find my address again themselves I will not upload
- those drivers.
