- I have a STB Wind/X (S3 based) and found that OS/2 Full Screen sessions didn't
- sinc up over 90% of the time. Since there are no SVGA drivers for OS/2 yet
- for S3 based cards, I am running only in basic VGA mode.
-
- Then, by accident, I discovered that if I first opened a DOS Full Screen
- session, get out with ALT-ESC, and then invoke an OS/2 Full Screen session, it
- will sync up nearly all of the time. I haven't a clue why! I am beginning to
- think that this bug may actually be at least partially the fault of OS/2.
-
- Any way, give it a shot. You may get lucky.
