- Ya know, it would be possible to work around this driver problem if some
- entrepenureal (sp <g>) programmer out there were to write a program that
- saved the contents of the video RAM to Extended memory whenever it
- detected a screen change. It could be written as a DOS program, because
- OS/2 is capable of notifying DOS programs when it changes screens
- (this OS/2 feature is configurable via the settings notebook).
-
- I have seen a similar program once before, but it was only designed to
- handle a low resolution (320x200) screen, and not SVGA. It could
- probably be redone to handle SVGA, though (with a little work).
