   I tried this with a Gateay 2000, Diamond Speedstar and their
   monitor (Crystal Scan 1024i)

   I found that I had to set the monitor type to "fixed" to get
   1024x768 and thus I needed the following two statements to
   get 1024x768 under MS-DOS.

      VMODE MONITOR
      VMODE 38

   And so I put these in a file setmode.bat as described above.
   However, this did not solve the problem. I can see the .bat 
   file execute (after the workplace shell starts) and it changes
   the full screen dos session to 1024x768, however when it exits,
   it seems like the mode returns to the previous setings with a
   violent case of the swimmies.

   If anyone has gotten this combination to work properly, please
   let me know!

   Fortunately I saved a copy of the VGA display.dll and use the FAT
   file system. I just booted MS-DOS from floppy, restored the VGA
   display.dll and OS/2 came up properly with the 640x480 screen.

   thanks,
