     I had a couple of problems with ad_video that I was able to solve by
rearranging the order of sys files in my config.sys.  The only current problem
I have is that ad_video seems to reset the EGA pallette whenever a graphics
mode is invoked.  I set pallette register 7 to "bright white" on bootup,
because that register-color is used by all of the good pagers I've found and I
don't like the default gray.  Unfortunately, now whenever I run a graphics
program, when the program exits I have to set the pallette again.  I use
nansi.sys for my console; I haven't tested yet whether some interaction with
it is the problem.  If anyone can suggest a solution I'd like to hear it.
Rearranging the loading order didn't fix it.
