- That's right. DOS sessions don't get their environment variables from
- CONFIG.SYS. Create an AUTOEXEC.BAT file in the root of your boot
- partition. This will execute each time a DOS session starts.

- No real idea, but have you set "SVGA OFF"? Look for the svgadata.pmi
- file (DIR svgadata.pmi /s) and delete it if you find it. Next, check
- your config.sys. Be sure youve a reference to vsvga.sys and NOT to
- vvga.sys.
-
- These should be set for all 8514/a sessions, whether there is a
- problem or not.
