- Not really. The SVGADATA.PMI file does nothing for your PM desktop
- (usually). It's for DOS sessions that use sVGA modes so that OS/2 can
- preserve the screens when switching in and out of the sessions.

- That page is only there if you have a DISPLAY.DLL file that supports
- multiple resolutions (like the TSENG and 8514/a drivers).
