- I fixed that problem. All I did was to open the settings for the full-screen
- Windows session and set:
-
- VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION to ON
- VIDEO_8514_XGA_IOTRAP to OFF
- VIDEO_RETRACE_EMULATION to OFF
-
- and hey presto - no more corruption of VIO sessions. Not only that, but
- Windows sessions are now _much_ faster too (graphically speaking, that is).
-
- I identify with the frustration, though. XGA-2 from Radius for the ISA bus
- is coming out really soon. Come on ATI: Get your act together or you'll
- lose a customer...
