- Trident has implemented virtual desktops with many of its drivers,
- yes. It works reasonably well, in fact, and they now provide a
- utility which helps in the process.
-
- Rumor has it that IBM will provide a similar option in the future for
- VGA and XGA. We'll see.
-
- Note that the stock drivers support desktop scroll bars. Move an
- object off the desktop, and a scroll bar appears. This gives you more
- space than you might otherwise have.
