I remember, back in the heyday of the "my-multitasker-is-better-than-your-
multitasker" flame wars, that one argument for the superiority of Windows
was its ability to save SVGA screens.  WELL...

When I run an application in 640x400x256 and try to switch back to Windows,
the screen becomes unreadable; I have to guess where the application I just
switched out of was so I can get back to it and leave the SVGA mode.

Furthermore, when I run a program in 320x200x256 mode, some of it has been
garbled when I switch back.

Any ideas?  I'm running in 386 extended mode.
