- The background bitmap doesn't make that much different on my system (other
- than the size of the bitmap, of course) as far as the swapfile goes, so
- long as I don't size it to the screen, or tile it. If I just display it
- normal size in the center of the screen, all works well. (Except for the
- palette... :-)) I'm using 2.0 + SP and 1024x768x256 ET4000 drivers in the
- SP.
