Each vendor's implementation is somewhat different, but I have been
using an S3Trio64V+ based video adapter with OS/2 Warp 3.0 and Fixpak
17 and the 2.5x release of the S3 drivers for several months and Warp
4.0 and the 2.81 release of the S3 drivers for about two months. I had
no video related problems under 3.0. Since moving to Warp 4.0, I have
had no problems at all.
