- *argl* And what happens if your computer has OverScan or is a Falcon
- or has a 19" monitor or a graphics card of some sort or a big screen
- emulation or ...
-
- Face it: Logbase() is an XBIOS function and therefore will only
- handle the standard Atari graphics modes that XBIOS knows about -
- but *not* graphics modes supported by add-on graphics cards.
- And that's the reason why logbase() will fail miserably on
- such hardware even *if* your screen buffer has the right size.
- The best solution probably is to avoid logbase() altogether.
