	It does that on the S3/801 based system I'm on - although I'll 
try it on my Mach32-based system Monday, which hopefully will work.  I'll 
make a report on it from my new net address (?@sundance.sjsu.edu) next 
week... (perhaps the version should be called Executor/Linux-mach32 for a 
little while :)

	I hope the problem gets fixed soon, and that it will also work on 
regular VGA cards...
