Are you using WB 1.3? I had problems with some programs that opened custom screens locking up if I flipped or moved the screens up and down. I especially had problems with the VLT terminal emulator - I thought it was buggy, but then I read about a bug in the Intuition (or whatever.. Graphics?) MakeVPort routine. There's a little 16 or so byte patch I use in my Startup-Sequence and I've never had the problem again. I'm not sure that's the problem this fellow is having... anyone else know more about this? >InfoCoast /\_ Henrik Brinch \ cbmehq!cbmdeo!icoast!hbrinch -- | ben@epmooch.UUCP (Ben Mesander) | "Cash is more important than | | ben%servalan.UUCP@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu | your mother." - Al Shugart, | | !chinet!uokmax!servalan!epmooch!ben | CEO, Seagate Technologies |
