Just to add to some of the questions Jinwon is asking...

I currently run Ventura 2.0 and fire it up from Windows 3. On my Sony 1304, I
can run V2 in 1024x768 mode and really get good real-estate. I run my Windows
environment in 800x600 mode. Since Win in 1K-768 mode is not quite usable.

If I upgrade to Ven 3 for Windows... I doubt if I will be able to switch
resolutions like that, right? Atleast not without restarting Windows with the
new driver...

Will someone correct me if I am wrong?
