Having VESA 2 compatibility probably makes a big difference, too.  If
you don't have it and haven't yet tried UniVBE, you should definitely
try UniVBE.

Yes, Think-C text based programs have this problem.  It's *NOT* easy
to solve.  They patch out some low-level drivers and I wasn't able to

If that still causes trouble in q12, please capture a backtrace and
send it to us.

It would be a long hard fight, but they could do it.
