- Yes, I have had the same problem. I was using older ATI VGA Wonder drivers
- under the pre-service pack OS/2. The ones I used were by Joel (can't
- remember the last name) and they worked quite well under the old. The older
- drivers had a hard time syncing my monitor (an old multisync monitor).
- Whenever I went from the desktop to a full screen session, the monitor would
- roll and lines all over the screen. Now, with the newer drivers from ATI, I
- don't have that problem, but I have the new problem of the tabs not showing
- up at all. I can't wait for seamless drivers! I have some windows software
- that I would LOVE to run without having to change my view.
