I've got an LCD version of the Tosh 4400sx and there seems to be a
slight (albeit pretty benign) bug in the Pop-Up setup (the Window
you get when you press <Fn-Esc>. This is in the Screen settings
option on the Window. There are 2 modes available - Normal and Reverse
- these are selected by using the Left Right Arrow keys, but if the
Right Arrow key is used when the Display is already in Reverse (i.e.
you use the R-Arrow to get from Normal to Reverse), the screen goes all
'yellow' and you can't revert back to the Reverse or even Normal setting.
Usually you can turn the power off and back on again to reset the
screen - but it is a bit annoying. I'd like to know if my machine is the
only one doing this?

On another totally unrelated matter - According to the documentation,
it should be possible to have the Pop-Up Window work in Windows 3.x
but I'm unable to do so. Does anyone know what the memory settings
be in order for this to work - and what drivers should be loaded up?

PS Will the Autoresume drivers work for all Windows versions?

PPS Are there Autoresume drivers for operation systems other than
MS-DOS (i.e. UNIX, Linux?)

Thanks.
