Re: Intuition ignoring Rx, RyOffset in RasInfo

	Yes, I've encountered this problem too, and I've complained about
it to CATS already (about a month ago).  I think this is a serious limitation
of Intuition, and basically renders it USELESS in any application that uses
the hardware to scroll around in a screen (what seems to me a very natural
application of the hardware).  In fact, this would be massively useful
for portability questions; i.e., programs that require 1024x1024 screens
could open up a superbitmap screen and then the user could simply scroll around
in the screen with some kind of movable gadget.  Thus programs that use
newer hardware could have a chance to run normally on the old hardware.
At least the user could attempt to see what it might be like to run on the
newer (1024x1024 or some such) hardware by scrolling around in the older
Amigas (which would also tend to encourage people to buy the new hardware).
1024x1024 applications could be developed, all sorts of neat things could
happen.  What about it, CATS?  Can this be fixed?
