- It certainly is. Seamless windows are provided by a seamless Windows
- driver (pointed to by a line in MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM.INI). IBM only
- ships one seamless driver: VGA. If the seamless driver doesn't match
- the resolution of the OS2 desktop, you don't get Seamless Windows.
- Note that you don't get them with 8514/a, CGA, or EGA as well.
-
- You can get seamless Windows if you have a seamless windows driver in
- the WINOS2\system.ini file which matches the desktop's resolution.
- Even if the desktop driver is an OS/2 1.x driver.
