- I have found that if a full-screen DOS program changes the resolution I get
- something like this -- a slightly squashed screen. My solution is to rerun
- svga on (from a full-screen window, of course).

- In fact, I have found that the Orchid drivers don't "sync" for me at all
- until I run svga on (each time!). So I have svga on in my startup folder
- and all is well.
