- I had the same problem with an ATI Wonder XL. One thing that *may* fix
- the problem is to change the DOS setting VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION. If
- it's OFF, set it ON; if it's ON, set it OFF. This will either fix the
- problem or *really* screw up your video when you switch back to the
- WIN-OS2 session. I also found that the problem happened with some
- Windows drivers but not others, so try changing to a different
- resolution or number of colours.
-
- What finally fixed the problem for good was a new set of Windows 3.0
- drivers that ATI just released. Obviously that won't do you any good,
- but you might mention to Trident that ATI fixed the problem by changing
- their Windows drivers.
