- I installed the 800x600x16 for my wd90C31 a few days ago. So far, no
- bugs except maximized windows return to normal when returning from a
- full screen, and OS/2 full screen is out-of-synch. I need to do a
- MODE CO132 or something like that. DOS full screen is not affected.
- I don't know if this is a bug but my window fonts are fat again. I
- like the skinny fonts that the SP gave me.
-
- No crashes with this driver either, except when I forgot to SVGA ON
- before rebooting the new driver.
