- Everything seems to work fine.

- The only problem I'm having is one that has been around ever since I got my
- vga card. None of the Svga text modes work. Most are a blury mess, but a few
- just let me see the top left 80x24 characters with regular the size. The rest
- of the screen is really there. I have an Everex Viewpoint Premium (et4000 1MB).
- This is not much of a problem since I like normal vga text better anyway.
-
- One other thing: It would be nice if floppy disk errors were handled a
- little more gracefully. Some times I get a constant stream of "floppy disk
- reset called"'s across my screen. It's always because of a bad disk or
- something like that, but there is no way to stop it. Even kill -9 does
- nothing.
