- I think I did not express myself well. The PC runs the ATI 800x600 driver
- well, but the WINOS2 session runs at VGA resolution. My problem is to
- make such changes that the Windows desktop works at 800x600 (or higher) too!
- I though that this could be accomplished by installing Windows ATI
- drivers in WINOS2. The ATI video driver for WINDOWS needs to be
- installed by the Windows setup program. The WINOS2 setup program does not
- have an option of installing new video drivers.
- On the other side, are OS/2 SVGA drivers applicable to WINOS2?
