#os2
The ability to run 3ds as a svga or vga session in the background depends on
whether the os/2 video driver supports it. Most drivers seem to support it,
some do not. With your card, I'm not sure, but it should. You are probably
using drivers written by S3, which always seem to support it. You do have the
"/BGEXEC" parameter specified on the video device driver line in config.sys,
don't you?
If all else fails, you can select the "null" driver from vibrant's driver list.
If you use this driver, all screen output is routed to "the big bit bucket",
and the screen is left in text mode. If 3ds has a problem starting up (like a
control file for that machine's ID already exists), you won't ever see the
error message, so I prefer not to go that way if possible.
Leave a reply on whether you are using the /bgexec parameter, and what vibrant
driver you are using for your background session.
