- I did some simple testing on UniVBE with linear frame buffers and CWSDPMI
- and it worked fine. I didn't test any page-flipping code, or many
- different video cards. I have found some video BIOSes are poorly written
- and use a humongous amount of stack space (over 100 words) when switching
- modes, etc. If a video BIOS (or UniVBE) takes more than 128 words it
- might cause some problems in CWSDPMI. I would be interested in knowing
- if other people have this problem, and if so, what cards they are trying
- to use (and how - what modes, etc). I can provide a test CWSDPMI to
- test this theory.
