It does that on the S3/801 based system I'm on - although I'll
try it on my Mach32-based system Monday, which hopefully will work. I'll
make a report on it from my new net address (?@sundance.sjsu.edu) next
week... (perhaps the version should be called Executor/Linux-mach32 for a
little while :)
I hope the problem gets fixed soon, and that it will also work on
regular VGA cards...
