-
- AES gets the resolution from VDI open_wk() when starting. AES uses the
- workstation handle from desktop.inf (i.e. 1 for default, 2 for ST low,
- 4 for ST high, ...). VDI decides whether to load the specified driver or
- not (e.g. driver 4 is invalid when connected to a video game color monitor).

- Don't touch it !

-
- Write a new driver, put it into ASSIGN.SYS and boot with GDOS.
