- I am currently using an ATI Ultra in my pc. I use the stock IBM 8514
- drivers for the wps and the ATI windows drivers for full screen
- windows sessions. I installed the CSD with no problems. I have two
- questions about the video drivers.
-
- 1. There are still no 8514 seamless windows drivers yet. Has IBM made an
- announcement concerning 8514 seamless windows drivers for the 32 bit
- graphics engine? Recent postings in this group indicate that it will
- be awhile before ATI will have anything (if at all) for the ATI
- Graphics Ultra to run seamless windows sessions.
-
- 2. When I start a windows application from the desktop, a full screen
- windows session is started and then the application is fired up.
- However, when I open a second windows application from the desktop, a
- second seperate windows session is started for the second app. I only
- seem to be able to get around this by explicitly opening a full screen windows
- session from the desktop and then firing up each windows app from
- within the windows session. How can I get a second windows app
- opened from the desktop to use the already opened full screen windows
- session started by the first app? I have looked at the notebook
- settings for the windows apps and I can't seem to find any way to
- change this behavior.
-
- Thanks in advance for any information.
