- I had the same problem. It appears that the installation script
- that comes with the newer drivers changed my system.ini to make
- the fixed fonts setting (fixedfon) point to an xga font (xgafix.fon).
- I just changed this to be vgafix.fon.
- (In fact I had to change three occurences of xga to vga and then things went
- back to normal, the other two changes were xgasys.fon -> vgasys.fon
- and xgaoem.fon -> vgaoem.fon).
