That was me that reported the screen scrolling improvement. A little while
later, someone posted a message saying he tried it and it didn't work.
Well, after installing the beta and using the IBM supplied ATI 800x600x256
drivers, the scrolling improvement was gone. No change at all. 

It turns out I was running with Joels 800x600x16 generic drivers before,
and my method worked well with it. But with the ATI drivers, they don't.
So the moral of the story is, if you use Joels drivers, this method might
work.

If you wan't to try it, download the file 'UNBLIN20.ZIP' from
OAK.OAKLAND.EDU in pub/msdos/screen and see if it helps.
