Very Computer

hi,

I'm having trouble with my WinFast 240 card and svgalib / dosemu.
(PCI card with S3 Trio64 chip)

Basically the problem is that it doesn't always properly restore
the video mode, and I end up with a blank screen. The only way to
get it back is to reboot. However X doesn't works great. I think
it's not properly restoring all the registers. Has anyone had this
problem before, or have any suggestions.  I'm using svgalib 1.2.10 and
dosemu 0.60.4

thanks,
  Tony

        Well, I had the problem with odler versions of SVGALib.  I
upgraded to 1.2.10 and it fixed the problems.

Interesting ... i'm trying to setup X on my system (Dell Dimension 133C) with a #9 GXE64 with a TRIO64.  I cannot even access X.  Whenever I
type statx, my monitior's power saving light goes on, and I have to hit ctrl-alt-backspace to regain system control. It looks as if you're
further than I am.
