This is not directly connected to the previous postings in this series, 
but I am having some trouble with Desqview-386 and an ATI VGA Wonder
card running in mono VGA mode.  To make the best use of all my memory,
I've given the B8000-BFFFF area to QEMM to remap.  When I am in Desqview,
the screen sometimes rolls 1 pixel to the left; i.e., a single column of
pixels from the left edge of the screen shifts over to the right edge.
This never happened when I set up the card to use color.  Outside Desqview,
with QEMM installed, I have no trouble running graphics programs that
switch between monochrome text and greyscale graphics.  When I run these
in Desqview, however, they now fail when they try to switch OUT of graphics
modes.  They completely lock the machine.  In particular, the shareware GIF
viewer CSHOW has this problem.  Turning off virtualization of the screen
didn't seem to make any difference.  Any ideas?
