- I also have at WD90C31. The driver works. The only two bugs is that
- the maximized window return to normal sized when returning from full
- screen, and that the font in the windowed sessions are the same fat
- GA font rather than the new skinny font introduced by the SP. Of course,
- these are only very minor bugs. I am otherwise very satisfied with
- the driver. I like the large work area the 800x600 gives over the 640x480.
- Enjoy the cake, it tastes delicious.
