i have NewsRog and with 3.1 i set to run NewsRog in a interleaved
screen. no trashed gfx buttons...

when i did install 3.5, the gfx buttons in NewsRog trashed. if the graphics.library was unchanged in 3.5 (and this is the case) then i
think that the 3.5 implement this *feature* in other part (maybe in
picture.datatype?)

i think that the 3.5 implement this *feature* to force to the
AGA-only people to buy a gfx card, or to force to 1200 users to
buy a zorro expansion + tower or a expensive ppc card to use a
gfx card... :(
