#Beta Vibrant driver
Nik –
The Windows problem is fairly hairy. The main problem technically is that the
Windows' driver takes control away from us at strange points, which leaves the
system in an unstable state which could crash, or at least, trash the display.
The only time we have run our DOS drivers without hitch under Windows is when
the Windows' display driver is using a seperate device (for example, Windows on
VGA, us on TIGA)…
There was a post recently that gave information on how to be notified when
Windows switched control in a DOS box, which makes it technically feasiable…
but still not bullet proof. It also would require a LOT of work on our part.
For now, we have decided to not mess with it… We might have to, however, once
Chicago comes out and everyone is running in a DOS box (bleh).
