alright, i have yet to get both OS2 and Windows to run together in
using the Mach64 driver.  if i have both use the VGA driver everything
works fine.  if i use the mach64 driver, i can get 1024x768x256 in os2
but when i run windows using the fmacx and smacx drivers for full
and window winos2 the screen goes blank.  everything's still there
though.  in full mode, i can alt-f4 and exit windows and get back to
an os2 screen i can see.  in windowed mode, if i hit alt-f4 i think
windows exits, because if i hit alt-f4 again i hear the sound of an
os2 folder closing.

i really want to switch the boot manager to default to os2, but i
can't until i get this sorted.  somebody please help!!!!

as an added bit of info, install refused to install the mach64 drivers.
but again, if i force the install on selective install, i can work in
os2 fine and in high res.  i just need to be able to do the same with
winos2!

thanks in advance
