- I installed v.99 after applying the fixes that Linus posted. I set the
- SVGA option to NORMAL_VGA and it booted fine, except that my keyboard was
- locked. Evidentially this was caused by the bug previously reported in
- v.89.pl6, where setup.s causes keyboard controller confusion if you pre-set
- the video mode. Does anybody know whether Johan Myreen's fix that was posted
- for v.89.pl6 will work for v.99? (I was too timid to just try it and so I
- just set it to ask for video mode and it works fine.)
