- Be aware that there is a bug in the SVGA.EXE program supplied with the
- SP (and maybe with the orginal disks too). This has been verified by a
- number of users. The problem is that the SVGA program does not
- correctly identify certain video cards (notably Diamond Speed Star
- Plus ET4000 based cards). The work-around is to boot up under real DOS
- and run SVGA there. The PMI file thus created will be correct and
- should be used in place of the one created by SVGA.EXE when run under
- full screen OS/2 DOS sessions.
