Your video7 1024i drivers don't work with 1.3?  How so?

I'm running OS/2 1.3 on my 286 with a 1024i running in 16color1024x768 mode, 
and not having problems...  I know that the 256 color driver does not work 
properly, but I don't think it worked properly with 1.2 either, even though it 
was advertised as doing so.  

I think you mentioned that you do some windows development.  One interesting 
thing I noticed recently was that the Windows Resource compiler is bound, and 
can be run under OS/2.  If only Windows and OS/2 used compatible resources..  

What were they thinking?
