OK.  I have had 2.1b running in 800x600x256 mode for a week, now.
Tseng ET4000 (Diamond Speedstar 24).
I just tried running cshow, and the PM desktop lost sync completely!
Not only doesn't vmode fix this, but pressing reset doesn't either!~
Next I am going to try turning the machine off completely...if not, then
I will replace the .PMI file.  Does anyone know what happened and why?
Did cshow change the card timings permanently in a way OS2 can't handle?
This is very serious.

Full screen sessions are ok, and I learned from experience to put start /fs
into startup.cmd just in case something messes up PM :-)

What sort of bug is this?
Thanks
Meir
