Hmm, you may be asking, "Does this man not have anything other to do
than testing video drivers for OS/2?". But I think an OS with a
graphical user interface *need* higher screen resolution and the
acceptance of OS/2 will be greatly increased by availability of video
drivers for the most common Super VGA cards. I have seen working drivers
for Paradise, ET-4000 and Trident cards for OS/2 1.2 and 1.3 so far,
only the Video7 drivers are really buggy and nearly unusable until now.
