- If you mean that the colors on your OS/2 desktop go screwy, you need to
- start a full screen WINOS2 session so that you can remove the nice back-
- ground picture you selected in your Desktop settings. I think you'll
- find that selecting a full screen DOS or OS/2 session and then immediately
- returning to the OS/2 desktop will temporarily clear up the condition.
- Deselecting any picture on your full screen WINOS2 desktop will clear up
- the problem permanently.
-
- This is some kind of bug in the palette management code which will hope-
- fully be fixed soon. I know it sounds crazy that a seamless session is
- affected in anyway by the full screen settings, but that's the way it is.
- Those of us with ET4000-based SVGA's preceded you Trident owners down
- this path by a few weeks, so you may have missed the discussions about it
- back at that time.
