Hello Klaus,

the actual driver for the autoswitch-overscan is 51! versions away from the
old one released into netland. I found lots of bugs ;-)
The autoswitch feature is about 32 versions old and running very stable. I
ported this feature to some other software, now we have the autoswitch
SM-124 emulator for TT-High and and autoswitch driver for the Reflex 1024
card.

You are right :-)  But it was a good way to say 'what is wrong', so everybody
interested can change it in the source...
