[comp.windows.ms] Video Seven 800x600x16 Driver

merrill@cs.arizona.edu (Darren J. Merrill) (02/03/91)

To anyone that works at Video Seven or to the person that uploaded the new
V7 drivers to cica:
  It would appear that this driver has a (or more) bug that is elicited
when used on a Fastwrite VGA with 256k.  (It could be that the bug shows
up on other cards as well).
  The bug:  when a window is opened (as when a group is opened in the file
manager), part of the window background is painted white (as it should in
my color scheme) but a good part is painted black (or left black).  Minimizing
and restoring the window in many cases will cause the background to painted
correctly. 
  The driver previously at cica for V7 products, did not cause this problem.
Also, the bug has been confirmed by others with similar setups.  
  So... Could someone pass on this info to V7 or upload a "debugged" set of
drivers.
  Thanks..

/* Protestor Flame On:
   No matter how you feel about war, protesting it now will only cause pain
   to those participating in the "Storm"; even the opposition in Congress
   has chosen to back the troups.  The time for protest has passed with the
   vote taken in Congress.  Protestors give torturers another tool to 
   inflict mental pain on poor POWs; I'm sure they don't show POWs tapes
   of "Suppport the Troops" rallies.
   I find it disturbing that the people convinced that this action will be
   another "Vietnam" are the ones that are trying to turn it into one.
   Flame Off...
