- It would be extremely difficult for us to fix, since the VESA VBE
- video driver standard provides no way to set the border color. The
- old-style VGA technique of setting the border color doesn't work in
- SVGA video modes.
-
- Long ago someone from SciTech said they they would probably make
- SciTech Display Doctor 5.2 would always display a black screen border.
- However, I'm not sure if they ever got around to doing this.
-
- Is anyone out there running SDD 5.2 and still getting the annoying
- white screen border?
