Ok, let me see if I can explain this again, and see if any one can help
me. If I run a 1024x768 mode program *when windows isn't running* it
works fine. When I start windows *in 386 enhanced mode* (at any
resolution for the actual windows desktop screen) and then run the same
program that goes into 1024x768 mode from windows (in full screen mode, of
course) I get an annoying flicker. Its update is *much* slower then 30Hz.
If is more like 5Hz. Trust me, it is that bad! I also (obviosly) get the
problem if I run the windows desktop in 1024x768 mode.

My computer is a 386/25Mhz, with 4Meg ram, and an ET4000 SVGA card. (The
entire card was made at Tseng.) If anyone knows why this is happening,
please let me know, thanks.
