- I have observed similar behaviour not only with DOS gif viewers but also
- if I Alt-Home from a full screen DOS session with Word 5 (graphics mode).
- If I Alt-Home back to the full screen, the screen has garbage (card is a 1
- M Trident 8900c); I would like to know if there is a fix for the garbage
- (this problem was there prior to these drivers). Also, I cant seem to get
- seamless windows in either of the SVGA modes; the fullscreen WINOS2 is ok
- though; in seamless, a DOS window appears, there is disk access and then
- nothing happens ( I have to close it). I followed the instructions in the
- (modified by SBW) zip file. I did get seamless VGA with GA+SP. Any
- suggestions?
